Let $N$ be finite abelian $p$-group (is not cyclic). Is there any extension (not central extension) of $N$ by $A_{5}$?

The easiest way to construct such examples is to take a nonzero irreducible module $M$ for $A_5$ over the field of order $p$, and let $G$ be the semidirect product of $M$ by $A_5$.
