LPU places around 70% to 80% of B.Sc. Agriculture students. The university offers placement assistance to students from the very first year of college by conducting multiple seminars, webinars, industry interactions, field visits, etc. However, to be eligible for final placements, B.Sc. students have to maintain a good academic record. 

According to Review 1, the average package offered to Agriculture students at LPU ranges from INR 5 Lakhs to INR 6 Lakhs per annum with an 80% placement rate. Students have to prepare well in advance due to high competition. However, if a student has the required skillset he or she can easily secure a job through LPU placements. Most of the students choose to pursue a master's in the same university because the packages offered to M.Sc. Agriculture students are much better. From the 2nd review, the following insights are drawn: B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture students are eligible for placements from the 5th semester onwards and companies like ITC, UPL, SYNGENTA, NFL, and INMOVIDU are among the top recruiters and students have a 50% chance of securing placements with them. Review 3 adds more to the list of companies visiting for B.Sc. and placement eligibility criteria & states that LPU guides students from the beginning by providing placement classes and students become eligible after completion of their 3rd year. Companies like ITC, Bayer, Syngenta, Fasal, Adani Wilmar and some Ed tech organizations hired 250-300 B.Sc. students and 70% of students got placed in the Agriculture department. The 4th review highlights placement statistics indicating the highest package offered to a B.Sc. Agriculture student is INR 8 LPA. The average package stands at a range of INR 2 lakhs to INR 3 Lakhs annually and the lowest package closed at INR 1.50 LPA. The review also adds to the information of 90% of students' placements in B.Sc. Agriculture. But most of the students choose to pursue higher studies or start their own business instead of getting a job. 

From the mixed reviews given above, we can estimate that LPU offers an average package of INR 2 LPA to INR 6 LPA for B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture students. The placement percentage also varies based on companies approaching to recruit. Students must be in touch with the placement cell for regular updates.
