You need 65% marks in a relevant agriculture master's degree. You also need LPUNEST and the interview unless you hold a valid national fellowship or test score. LPU does not allow this agriculture Ph.D. straight after a four-year UG degree.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Previous degree | Relevant agriculture master's degree |
| Marks | 65% aggregate marks or equal grade |
| Exam | LPUNEST Ph.D. and interview |
| Direct after UG | Not allowed for Vegetable Science |
LPU first takes the online form and LPUNEST score. It then calls shortlisted students for interview. The entrance test gets 80% weight and the interview gets 20% weight for agriculture Ph.D. admission. You pay the first fee part only after the admission office confirms selection.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Fill form | Apply through the LPUNEST Ph.D. portal |
| 2. Write LPUNEST | Take the entrance test unless you have a valid exemption |
| 3. Book interview | Use the slot shown after the result |
| 4. Pay fee | Pay the first semester fee after selection |
| 5. Report | Bring original mark sheets and fellowship papers if any |
A score of 80 and above is the safer side for LPUNEST Ph.D. admission. A score from 60 to 79 can still work if the interview is strong. LPU announces scholarship category cutoffs with each result, so check your result page before you pay.
| Applicant type | Score range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Strong LPUNEST score | 80 and above | Safer side for interview shortlist |
| Middle LPUNEST score | 60 to 79 | Needs a strong interview |
| Low LPUNEST score | Below 60 | Try the next schedule |
| Valid JRF or NET | Exempted | Interview carries full weight |

I am currently pursuing B.Tech CSE at LPU. According to me, LPU is one of the best institutes for BTech in Computer Science because of its excellent academics, top placements, scholarship facility, and more.
LPU was ranked 50 by NIRF in 2023 for its Engineering courses. Other than that, LPU has attained the 3rd rank because of the coding expertise demonstrated by its students on the International Coding Platform- HackerEarth. More than 90 students of B.Tech Computer Science at LPU cleared the TCS National Qualifier Test (NQT). The highest package offered to B.Tech Computer Science students at LPU is around INR 64 LPA, and the average package is around INR 14.97 LPA.
I don’t know much about Amity Gwalior, but LPU is definitely a good choice for B.Tech Computer Science.
I am a second year BCA student at LPU. I chose LPU over IMS Ghaziabad for BCA because of the following reasons:
According to the IMS Ghaziabad placement report 2022, around 25% of students in the BCA program got placed, and the highest salary package offered to the BCA students was INR 10 LPA.
When a student chooses a university, they must consider factors such as academic environment, faculty, placement opportunities, ranking, industrial exposure, professional training, infrastructure, etc. So according to these factors, I can say BCA at LPU is better than IMS Ghaziabad.
As a former student at LPU, I would suggest you go for a BTech ECE at LPU.
LPU has attained high rankings in the past years, and it is one of the best private universities in India. It has been ranked 50th among top Engineering colleges in India by NIRF Ranking 2023.
