Hi Afzal, B.Sc. (Hons) has a scope frankly speaking in agro companies, but if you pursue it from the top universities. But if you are looking for research or teaching profile you have to do M.Sc. And then Ph.D. Without that no scope. Most of the government universities have completed their entrance exams and the admissions. Try to get admission in Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidhalaya, Palampur, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Lovely Professional University, etc.
