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

Economists point out that agriculture is four times more effective than other sectors in reducing poverty. It can even be a gold mine for young entrepreneurs. Besides, agricultural research needs young mind to initiate innovation. A very small percentage of our students opt for an agricultural major, only because they don't realize its potential. Agriculture is more diverse now than ever before, offering a wide variety of jobs. Agricultural technology is also advancing fast, creating new jobs. Salaries are increasing and a career in agriculture is today as rewarding as any other, if not more. The environmental Science course pushes you into an advisory position where you are usually constrained to limit of stop things happening. The Environment Science courses are more approved of by academics as they suit the University image better than practical courses.

It is usual to hear, B.Sc. Agriculture more lucrative, since one will be covering more broad topics of study which will also cover environmental sciences. Moreover, agriculture is the backbone of the country and dealing with its aspects is the demand of the time! Though due to the climactic change, environmental Science is also mushrooming as a degree but still present scenario has B.Sc. Agriculture as a more opportunistic field.

Both courses are good. They have equal opportunities and demand but i would prefer Agriculture reason being Agriculture is less Competitive field and comparatively opportunities are more considering that we are primarily an agricultural country. A very small percentage of our students opt for an agricultural major, only because they don't realize its potential. One basic advantage that agriculture has over other sectors: other industries might need down-sizing, but feeding the world is a job that isn't ever going to face recession. The demand for trained professionals in the field of agriculture is high. The course fee is negligible. There are plenty of government as well as private sector jobs available for BSc Agriculture graduates. They can be appointed as Research Officer, Quality Assurance Officer, Agriculture Officer, Agriculture Loan Officer (in Banks), Production Manager, Operations Manager and Farm Manager with State agriculture departments. In the private sector agriculture science graduates may find jobs as managers at plantations, as officers at fertilizer manufacturing firms, agriculture machinery industries, agricultural products marketing firms, food processing units etc. The average starting salary of these officers is generally between 5 to 6 lakh per annum (Including Incentive). I am enlisting a few good college for B.Sc. The colleges are: Tamil Nadu Agricultural University-Coimbatore Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya Mewar University Lovely Professional University Punjab Anna University Acharya Ngranga Agricultural University Hyderabad Govind Ballabh Pant University Of Agriculture And Technology, Pantnagar Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Puneoknete Mohanrao Kadam College Of Agriculture Sanglisardar Bharati Vidyapeeth University Pune

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 programme. 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.
