If you're asking whether Quantum University is ICAR recognized, then simple answer — no, till today it is not ICAR recognized for agriculture programs.

I've done my MBA from Quantum University, so sharing this honestly and clearly.

The university is UGC recognized, so it's a valid private university and your degree is valid for jobs and higher studies. But if you're specifically looking for ICAR approval (especially for BSc Agriculture), then it doesn't have that right now.

So if ICAR recognition is very important for your future plans, you should keep that in mind before applying.
