Hello Tanvi, Hope you are doing well. According to me, B.Sc Agriculture course have opportunity of various subjects such as agronomy, soil Science, plant pathology, horticulture, floriculture, etc. B.Sc Agriculture has a wide range of subjects under it as discussed above. But, Horticulture have a single opportunity specifically subject, this choice is good for special interest of people in horticulture. But, in B.Sc Agriculture, there is wide scope in other branches also. Like in: Plant Science Livestock management Plant pathology Soil Science Seed technology Aromatic sources Forest Science Agriculture extension Soil microbiology Pest management Floriculture. And, there should be plenty of opportunities in government as well as in private sector and most importantly there is entrepreneur can also be established very well. Overall B.Sc. Agriculture has wide range of options compared with B.Sc Horticulture, but somebody find special interest in horticulture can pursue this course. As per of my knowledge and experience agriculture field has wide and flourished future as an emerging field is this.
