Hello Neeraj, Agricultural graduates are absorbed as 'Agricultural Development Officers' by state governments. Banks also have special posts as specialist officers for agricultural graduates. A billion dollar private sector industry exists in contract farming, fertilizer, pesticide, /agrochemicals, farm forestry etc. That hires agricultural graduates. If you do MBA in agribusiness management and are upwardly mobile sky is the limit for salaries/perks offered. You can do Masters and Ph.D. and get absorbed in teaching/research in the Agricultural Universities/ ICAR Agricultural Research Service (Central Government). Private players also offer attractive packages to fellows who can deliver in R & D. Good luck.
