Dear Apoorva,

Agricultural Science is a multidisciplinary field that comprises of a variety of scientific, technical & business subjects. It promotes the efficient production of quality food in the agricultural-food industry & on the farm linked to the farming.

Agriculture Field includes horticulture, farm management, businesses & industries which buy & process farm products, manufacture agricultural machinery, banking activities, research for improving quality & quantity of farm products, etc.

The most crucial and optimal stage of your career would be the final year of your graduation and the one following that. Every student dreams to get placed in renowned companies from college/University itself.Actually Salary package depends on factors like specialization, Institute, Company offering job, students academic performance, work experience etc.

As a general rule for placements, a lot more will depend upon your own hard work, communication & presentation skills and overall preparation. This would be true for any university you enroll in.

Also, in my view, I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews. LPU provides plenty of opportunities to its students to take part in events, competitions, fests in order to let them grow their personality and give them a chance to polish their skills.

Now,Being a alumni of LPU I would like share my experience in Lovely Professional university. LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every of the eligible students to secure good placement.Apart from that, internships as well as capstone projects are an integral part of curriculum which are very vital for getting placement. A lot of students have successfully started their own ventures as entrepreneurs. The university has its own start up school which promotes start up’s in collaboration with startup India program.

University prepares its students for placements through special inputs in the form of placement classes from first year onward, it may be Soft-Skills, G.D, presentation’s, Extempore’s, Technical Interview’s, Personal Interview’s...to make the student’s to crack their dream companies

Around 550+ companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. And this year for batch graduating in 2020, already more than 650 placement/internship drives have been conducted till February 2020 with leading industry giants (more than 90% being MNCs).

Lovely Professional University provides placement opportunities to all the deserving candidates, from all courses. It's up to the student's capability to be able to grab the opportunity or not. Till now thousand of students are placed at a very good package all around the world. Some of the alumni are working in the top 10 brands in the world.

A final year student of MSC. Agriculture (Agronomy) has bagged a package of Rs. 1 crore. The package has been offered by Monsanto, an agrochemical company and now part of the crop sciences. This student has been offered the role of production manager at MonsantoNSE 0.13 % Canada, according to the institute.

Lovely Professional University Placement Highlights:

• Recently 13 students got placed in Amazon with 30 LPA.
• Nearly 50 top tier companies, and overall more than 500 companiess are visiting the LPU campus for recruitment.
• The alumni of LPU are now working in Google and Yahoo for a salary package of 1Cr/ annum.
• LPU also guides its students to take entrepreneurship as a career.
• Well-known startups like Practo & Think and Learn has selected 60 students from LPU for a salary package of 5-10 LPA.

You can see that the university puts in every effort to bring the best companies for campus recruitment, but it is only up to the student to make the most of these opportunities.

Honestly, it is all about making the best use of resources around and from concept building to placement training to campus placements, there is nothing that the college does not offer. Now, it is up to you to get the best out of it!

So, definitely, in my view, LPU will be a good choice for placements. All the best for your future.

Dear Candidate,
Agriculture is a primary source of livelihood for the majority of Indians. Thus, generally it remains the last priority among students choosing a career option.

Identify a university which is ICAR accredited. Unaware about JNKVV Jabalpur but on inquiring from the counsellors of LPU,I came to know that LPU is the only private university which has attained ICAR which is a matter of proud.

The salient features  of  four years B.Sc (Hons). Agriculture are:

#Knowledge Enhancement:  imparts fundamental knowledge about cultivation practices in agriculture, horticulture crops and sustainable and precision farming.

#Experiential Learning: Through Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) programme the students develop real time understanding on conventional agriculture methods and effective dissemination of knowledge to the farmers.

#Field Visits: In order to provide basic understanding on emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture field visits are conducted to neighbouring farms, orchards and nurseries.

#Professional Enhancement: In addition to core curricula, course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability.

Career Prospects of this course are:

#Primary Prospects: Agriculture Inspectors, Agriculture Officers, POs, Food Quality Inspectors, Agriculture Development Officer, Horticulture Development Officer, Technical Assistants and administrative posts in government and non-government organizations.

#Secondary Prospects: Sales Officer in private companies and Technical Representatives in pesticide, fertilizer, seed and irrigation companiesOpportunities include pursuing higher studies in reputed universities in India and abroad

#Tertiary Prospects: Entrepreneurship ventures such as poly house, green house, mixed farming and agriculture-based small industries can be opened.

In order to learn the above and get the skills you have to take admission after meeting the eligibility as there is no management quota in LPU. The eligibility is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 or Intermediate (with English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths or Biology or Forestry) OR 10+2 or Intermediate (Agriculture) OR 2 years Diploma in Agriculture after 10th or equivalent.

LPU floats  scholarship on the following basis:

1. Previous marks (last two)

2. LPUNEST

3. Sports, Co-curricular activities

4. Defence

5. COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship

At a time you can avail one scholarship that too which is maximum.

I will advise you to book the seat at the earliest or maximum by 15-7-2020

Hope this helps.

There are lot of College and universities which are doing great in agriculture studies but as per my expert
LPU is one of the best choice for agriculture programme. Lovely Professional University is first private university accredited by Indian Council of Agricultural Research. No other private university has this accreditation. LPU is one of the great place for education where the management actually believe on actions rather than words. Whatever they promised they delivered to us along with in campus placement at good package and best time of life.

hi,

see if you look over the placement opportunity after bsc agriculture in core  discipline then there is less opportunity in core sector agriculture works, but there is many vacancy comes as a supervisor position in government sectors, jnkvv jabalpur course curriculum is excellent, but placement is not good after completing bachelors, however in lovely professional university many company comes for sales domain and official executive post. so lpu would be a better option.
