Hello,

Yes, KL Deemed to be University, including its Vijayawada campus, has its Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) (Hons.) in Agriculture program approved by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).

This approval indicates that the program meets the standards set by ICAR for agricultural education.

The university also emphasizes a practical, hands-on learning approach in its agriculture program.

Thank you!!

Good morning. Yes, KL University’s BSc (Hons) Agriculture program is approved by ICAR. It follows the curriculum recommended by the Fifth Deans’ Committee, which is required for ICAR accreditation.

This aligns with the broader perspective that ICAR accreditation, while voluntary, serves as a quality assurance marker and can significantly impact students’ academic and professional opportunities.

It is all about ICAR accreditation. It does not matter whether a college is private or government-run; if it is ICAR accredited, then there is no need to worry.

Regarding NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) recognition:

The university obtained an A ++ grade from NAAC in previous cycles, earning UGC’s Category One status.

However, a serious controversy emerged in February two thousand twenty-five when the CBI arrested several officials from KL University and associated NAAC inspectors over allegations of bribery to secure favorable NAAC ratings. As a result, KL University has been barred from obtaining NAAC accreditation for the next five years.

KL University (Koneru Lakshmaiah Deemed to be University) offers a B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture program and the syllabus is described as “ICAR Approved” on the admissions page.However, this doesn't necessarily mean it's officially accredited by ICAR or the NAEAB. In fact, KL University is not listed among ICAR/NAEAB-accredited agricultural universities as of October 2024

Yes, KL University Vijayawada is recognized by ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) for its agriculture programs such as B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture. While it is not a traditional State Agricultural University, its courses meet ICAR/NAEAB standards for quality education and curriculum.
