    Unfortunately not, because for pursuing M.Sc in agriculture, you must have a four-year undergraduate degree like B.Sc Agriculture or BVSC etc.

    He question is subjective, the opinions may differ from person to person. Both these fields are specialisation specific, Simply graduating may not be enough, you might have to study further and go into research in a big way, M.Tech and Ph.D. would lead you to these organizations depending upon your research area. Pursuing these programs from ordinary colleges will not be enough, you will have to do these from top universities/colleges of high repute like LPU. You need to assess your interests and aptitude.

    The eligibility criteria according to ICAR is a Bachelor's degree in agriculture or horticulture or forestry. Therefore, B.Sc in the subject mentioned by you is not eligible. If you are keen to enter into agriculture field then you can do M.Sc in biotech, biochemistry, genetics and agricultural biochemistry. These make you eligible for JRF positions in agricultural projects.
