B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture - Batch of 2026

Enjoyed campus life, agriculture practicals are good, but the schedule is tight.
Placements: In our batch, almost 70-75% of students got placed from the course. Placement is honestly above average in LPU if you are consistent. The highest package in my course went around 10-12 LPA, the lowest was around 3 LPA, and the average stayed somewhere near 4-5 LPA. Many companies like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, ICICI, HDFC, and a few agriculture-based companies also visited, depending on the branch. Internships were also offered to almost 40-50% of students, with a bare minimum stipend between 15k and 20k.
Infrastructure: Seriously, writing about the infrastructure, which is one of the starting blocks of the university, is that it has very excellent infrastructure compared to our block, which is at the last. The experience of the library is very good, and the Wi-Fi can be said to be average. I have not taken the hostel because I stay in a PG.
Faculty: Everything is good and best. The atmosphere is very competitive during exams. The curriculum is also good, but the students who fail in the exam have to write a review and appear for an exam that costs 500 rupees. Overall, it’s a positive response from my side.
Other: I have chosen B.Sc. Agriculture, because I always wanted to work in the agriculture field, and LPU was offering a good setup with labs, fields, and practical exposure. The best thing about the course is that we get proper field visits, crop production practicals, and teachers are also helpful most of the time. Events like Krishi Mela, agri-exhibitions, and different departmental activities also provide good exposure.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of the faculty but the environment is good.
Placements: I am in my 2nd year right now, as I see there are students getting placed, but more companies prefer CSE students, and also the students in BCA get placed in sales more than in coding line, though if you study hard, you can get placed in coding jobs.
Infrastructure: The facilities are good because the Wi-Fi is good in hostels, though the same cannot be said about food, as the food may be good for some and not for others. The medical facilities are good, as is a hospital on campus. The Wi-Fi facilities are also good. 1 person gets 40 GB for a week, and online games cannot be played on this Wi-Fi.
Faculty: The teaching faculty cannot be said to be good as there are good faculty, but they are fewer in number. The faculty members all just see their own rating in class, and if someone repeatedly asks doubts, they just lash out at the student, so the faculty are not good.
Other: Events and fests are happening daily.

Glimpse of Biotech Department of LPU.
Placements: Placements are average, with roles like drug manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance executive, business analyst, and sales and consulting roles, and packages are like 3-5 LPA, it’s quite rare to get 10 LPA or 8 LPA, and once in 3-4 years one gets such a good package, usually from an IT or software company.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and furnitures are quite good and spacious, and infrastructure is really good. Library has a lot of books, but people there hardly use it. Library is open from 9 to 7. Labs are good, but not that good as they don’t have all instruments, and most of the instruments don’t work. Hostels are below average, they charge highly, and mess food is below average.
Faculty: Some faculty members are IITians or NITs or from good research backgrounds, they really bring good research to the department. Some faculty members are top 2 percent scientists of the world. Syllabus and curriculum is basic, and it’s easy to score if you know what and how to write.
Other: Events and other things always go on. They might distract you and cost excess unwanted charges, so better avoid them if you want good placements and CGPA.
