If you want theoretical as well as practical knowledge go for B.Sc. And if practical knowledge is priority then go for B.Tech.

Agriculture, as an agrarian country, has enormous potential and will never run out of work prospects in the public and commercial sectors, as well as entrepreneurship opportunities. For recent grads, there are several government and private career prospects. When it comes to government jobs, state agriculture departments hire agriculture graduates for officer positions. They are also hired by government banks to fill officer positions (generally dealing with Loans). The following are some of the government sector organizations that have job openings: Indian Agricultural Research Institute North Eastern Region Agricultural Marketing Corporation Agricultural finance corporations Indian Council of Agricultural Research Council of Scientific and Industrial Research National Seeds Corporation Limited Now that we know there is a lot of job potential in the sector, it is critical that the education be obtained from top institutions that have the necessary syllabi and ICAR accreditation.
