Hello!

Many of us wonder, why BSc Agriculture? It’s strange because being a primary source of livelihood for the majority of Indians, it remains the last priority among students choosing a career option.

BSc in Agriculture is a broad-based course with great potential. It deals with things like food production, horticulture, animal rearing, rural economy and rural development, environmental health, etc. Other industries may face downsizing but agriculture can never fall prey because “food” is the basic necessity for life. Feeding the world will never face a recession or a slowdown. In fact, the development in technology, research, and innovation has multiplied the scope of agriculture in a big way.

BSc Agriculture is a 4-year undergraduate professional course offered by various government and private universities in India. The demand for graduates with a degree in agriculture is increasing every day in India and abroad. Course fees are also considerably lower in comparison to other professional degrees, while rewarding with good jobs and a better package.

A student pursuing this course will study a wide variety of subjects including agronomy, soil sciences, horticulture (fruit science & vegetable), plant breeding and genetics, entomology, plant pathology, animal sciences, extension education, plant biochemistry, agriculture economics, basics of biotechnology, etc. The syllabus is as per the guidelines of ICAR (Indian Council of Agriculture Research) and is designed to train students to understand ways of improving the crop production in a sustainable manner and to provide overall knowledge related to agriculture and related disciplines.

It is a matter of proud that LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation.

Being a Alumni of Lovely Professional University, I can say that LPU is best private University to purse B Sc (Hons)Agriculture. If you are looking for quality education and good placements along with learned faculty work hard on you to get you placed in the best of the companies, then LPU is the place for you to go for. Students who have passed out from LPU have got jobs in various departments and states. It lays thrust on carrying out research in agricultural and allied fields.

Dear Pramod,

Well, I will try to answer your question to the best of my knowledge. The placement drives at LPU are highly efficient and successful, and I m saying this because one of my friend has done B.Sc (http://b.sc/) Agriculture from LPU only and right now she is working with VLCC.

Few points told by my friend who did her studies from LPU that will help you to make your decision:

Lovely Professional University (LPU) has become India’s first private university to get ICAR accreditation.

The university has well-equipped laboratories, library, lecture rooms and excellent farm facility to conduct agricultural experiments. Students learn about the latest advancements in the field of agriculture, disease resistance, fertilizers and, insecticides with extensive fieldwork and field trips preparing them for the evergreen field of agriculture.

Students are exposed to Commercial farms to get know-how that creates an opportunity for students to engage and tone up their endurance, confidence and management skills.

The project involves the introduction of floating islands for water management and improving sanitation and regulation of water quality & restoration of the water table with the help of biological agents.

In order to provide a basic understanding of emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture, field visits are conducted to neighbouring farms, orchards and nurseries.

Lovely Professional University has made a good name for itself in a short span of time by working hard for its students in terms of education, faculty, placements, infrastructure, etc. It works for the overall development of its students.

Its main aim is to provide students with ample exposure both in the form of theoretical and practical knowledge for which there is much emphasis on workshops, live projects etc along with class room teaching. The university has made quality education possible for all by providing good scholarships under different categories.

Now, these were just some of the few advantages of LPU but there is much more good to say about LPU like it’s infrastructure, study environment, placements, cultural programs and what not, I can definitely say that LPU would be worth joining.

University prepares its students for placements through special inputs in the form of placement classes. Students are given a lot of on-job training as well as work on projects where they can earn also. MBA placements of the university are very good with students getting high packages.

Lpu provides good placements in companies like dhanuka, Ankur seeds,vlcc health care, Monsanto but it solely depends upon u and your skills to be placed by these companies so work hard n enhance your talents.

Due to this pandemic situation,Now a days online Induction is going on,University conducted different webinars for freshers,different online talent show is going on. Students are reporting virtually.The live online classes that we will be initiating are much like face-to-face classes only and their effectiveness has already been well tested in the last semester wherein more than 35,000 hours of online sessions were conducted for LPU students across various academic programs. University have planned to start with live online classes on LPU "MyClass" platform.

Hope it will help you!
