WHY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES AT SGT UNIVERSITY

Established in 2016, the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FASC) is responsible for imbibing knowledge to budding agriculturalists. We put great emphasis on practical crop production, experiential learning, skill development, and industrial attachment. The university also offers smart classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, poly houses along with 20 hectares of farmland for students' practical, demonstration and research. 

The FASC follows the syllabus recommended by the Fifth Deans Committee of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
