What is the difference between B.Sc in agriculture and B.Tech in agricultural engineering? Which course has a better scope?

Hello Adarsh, Aspirants having B.Sc degree in Agriculture can find lot of higher studies options like M.Sc in Agricultural Botany, M.Sc in Agricultural Entomology, M.Sc in Tea Husbandry and Technology, M.Sc in Farming System Management, M.Sc in Seed Technology etc. But they usually have less career opportunities compared to those having B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering. Agricultural Development Officer, Trial coordinator and Sales Officer are some of the lucrative opportunities available for B.Sc graduates in Agriculture where as B.Tech graduates in Agricultural Engineering can pursue their career as Junior Plantation Engineer, Assistant Plant Manager, Scientist, Junior Research Fellow etc. Even so, B.Sc in Agriculture is best option for those who are looking for a research oriented career as there are lots of Masters degree program available after this course. While comparing with career opportunities and salary package, B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering is much better than B.Sc in Agriculture. Average salary package offered for these graduates is up to Rs. 3, 00, 000/- per annum. But average salary package in the case of B.Tech graduates in Agricultural Engineering is up to Rs. 7, 00, 000/- per annum. They can find numerous opportunities in State Farms Corporation of India, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), National Seeds Corporation Limited and Food Corporation of India. Even so, if the candidates are more interested in research field than technical field, then B.Sc in Agriculture is better option as there are lot of higher studies options.
