Parul University's M.Sc. Agriculture program is not accredited by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) at present. The university has different courses, such as B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture and M.Sc. Agriculture, but it is not listed among the accredited institutions by ICAR. This is particularly so if you are seeking government employment, preparing for government competitive examinations conducted by the government, or pursuing higher studies in agriculture, where a degree approved by ICAR may be mandatory. So, while Parul University is well-equipped and boasts a strong curriculum, it is reasonable to consider universities that possess an official ICAR accreditation, particularly if ICAR approval is important to your agenda.
