Which course is better: B.Sc agriculture or B.Sc environmental science?

12th-science stream students, who have an interest in the sector of agriculture, may pursue this course. B.Sc. agriculture course is a great alternate to the B.E./B.Tech agriculture engineering program. Since India is an agrarian country, this field will never run out of job opportunities. To be honest, qualified professionals are always valued, when it comes to agriculture sector. Thus, it is evident that there is more than just one reason to pursue this course.

Hi Vivek Jha, Agriculture is a primary source of livelihood for the majority of Indians. Thus, generally it remains the last priority among students choosing a career option. Which is a very wrong assumption. Agricultural graduates have wide scope of career in public sector and private sector. In fact entrepreneurship is a great opportunity to pursue your prospective career in agricultural field. It is just a myth that Agriculture does not offer job opportunities.

Agriculture is one of the demanding course nowadays. Well both courses are good, I will advice you to choose B.Sc. Agriculture, as Agriculture is considered to be the backbone of both the country as well as economy. India is a agriculture based country where it is given utmost priority. Beside government. Institutes, there are various private universities are also there which offer an undergraduate degree in agriculture. The few private B.Sc. Agriculture Colleges in India are Noida International University, UP Sharda University Geeta University, Panipat VIT, Tamil Nadu Chitkara University, Punjab Shoolini University, Himachal Pradesh.

Agriculture is one of the most diversified fields than ever before, offering several jobs and self-employment opportunities to agriculture students. Agricultural technology is not only advancing at a fast pace but also creating new job opportunities for agriculture students LPU is the only private university that has ICAR approval. LPU students got top packages from leading Agriculture companies. Students of School of Agriculture are placed in Dhanuka, HDFC Bank, Reliance retail, Syngenta, Bio SEED Nestle, Smur Agro, VLCC, Virbac, Amazon, Sanra organics and many more. The package really depends on what he can show to the recruiters that, how much he is worth or deserved. There were some students who cracked the placement and got offered 1 crore LPA, while many failed to do so. On an average the Agriculture students of LPU is offered and placed in the starting package of 5.5 TO 6 LPA (Fixed salary) while there may be cases of students getting less than that or more than that. Like I said, LPU will provide you the platform and the opportunity, but it is really you who have to go and perform on the platform being provided. LPU is the only private university that has ICAR approval. Agriculture is a growing sector in the present times and emerging as a field of opportunities. Agriculture is the right career option for the future of development.
