It’s a matter of great pride that Punjab Agricultural
University (PAU) is ranked India #1 for its B.Sc
“(Hons) agriculture degree programme for the third
year consecutively with highest scores under the impor-
tant parameters of faculty competence, curriculum and
pedagogy, research & innovation. Over the past century,
PAU has developed into one of the country’s premier ag-
ricultural institutions with our highly qualified and com-
petent faculty delivering curricula aligned with global
best agricultural practices. Excellent faculty and curricu-
lums are supported by state-of-the-art Smart classrooms,
laboratories and 13 well-equipped Experiential Learning
units which inculcate entrepreneurial skills among our
students. The defining feature of PAU is that practical
classes and on-field training take precedence over theo-
retical classroom learning” — Dr. Satbir Singh Gosal
