This is in response to Neurofreak but I think it deserves general open discussion. In this edit I was asked on what grounds was Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences excluded from the list. Per WP:LSC a list must have an unambiguous selection criteria with an inline citations. Per WP:SALLEAD that criteria should appear in the lead. The lead says
Although a number of Indian universities offer agricultural education, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the main regulator of agricultural education, recognizes 63 universities as Agricultural Universities, as of July 2017 [update]. [1]
That sounds pretty unambiguous to me: the selection criteria of the list is the 63 institutes which are listed by ICAR. Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences is not listed there (nor is National Dairy Research Institute) so it shouldn't appear on the list. Maybe it should have appeared on the list, but if we don't want to speculate, we can just say it doesn't fit the selection criteria. As always, a new consensus can change the criteria. I thought about changing the selection criteria so it also includes every member of the Indian Agricultural Universities Association (IAUA) [2] but that doesn't make any sense. Banaras Hindu University is a member of IAUA and it is far from being an agricultural university, so membership in IAUA is not a good criteria. I'm open to suggestions and I'll invite WP:INEI members to join the discussion.

(koli 06:17, 17 March 2018 (UTC)) I wish to change the inclusion criteria List of agricultural universities in India. I wish to add other colleges and Private universities like Quantum University which offers Agriculture Courses in India. Please let me know if it possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arya.koli ( talk • contribs)
(koli 10:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)). As fer as i understand the Inclusion criteria depends or the guiding principle is affiliation to a regulating body. As such Quantum University is affiliated to UGC. UGC is the apex body overlooking all matters related to universities. The second hint i can deduce is that the institution vying to be in the aforesaid list should have a dedicated title to the effect of an institution for the study of agricultural sciences. Herein it would appear that indeed quantum does not qualify. However I note that Lovely Professional University also houses a faculty for agricultural with no clear declaration to a title that conveys overt implication that it is an exclusve center dedicated to the study of agricultural sciences. Yet they appear on the list List of agricultural universities and colleges. Could you please resolve this apparent paradox ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arya.koli ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
