Will I get the benefit of ICAR recognition and LPU is saying that they will get approved by ICAR in 6 months?

The fact that vouches for LPUs credibility in agriculture is that Lovely Professional University is the first private university to be accredited by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. As far as LPUs agriculture programme is designed with a target of the holistic development of students. LPUs School of Agriculture offers an up-to-date curriculum designed to suit the aspirations of agricultural industries as well as major research and development sectors. The laboratories of the School are world-class. The dedicated faculty gives the students hands-on training experience by assigning live projects (Agricultural work) in university agricultural research farms and experiential learning on different agricultural units. It includes disciplines like Agronomy, Horticulture Genetics and Plant Breeding, Soil Science, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Economics, Extension, etc. The major emphasis of this is to get the students acquainted with knowledge and hands-on experiences in the above-mentioned discipline and apply that knowledge to high-value agricultural production in a sustainable manner.

LPU is very much an ICAR recognised university. In fact, LPU is the first private university to get ICAR recognition. Of course, ICAR approved courses have more value than those which are not. At LPU hands-on training in crop production, rural and agriculture work experience (RAWE), Nursery raising for horticulture crops, crop, and SEED Identification, soil, and water sampling and analysis, soil description and Interpretation, organic and chemical fertilizer, manure identification, and application, etc. Are carried out in the campus itself. One can go abroad for a year, semester or for a short term course while doing the programme at LPU. This is one of the happening courses at LPU. An LPU student got a job with Monsanto at Rs one crore LPA which is huge.
