Hi, If we see the selection process of both the courses, the eligibility criteria for B.Tech food technology is 12th with PCM, While for B.Tech agriculture, it is 12th with PCM/PCB. Admission for B.Tech food technology is based on JEE Main ranking, while B.Tech agriculture admission are based on universities own entrance exams. So B.Tech food technology have little weightage here over B.Tech- agriculture, because JEE Mains is a national level exam. Further B.Tech food technology provides in depth knowledge of the fields like food processing, food packaging, nutrition, storage, etc. Any person who pursues this course gets the edge of being known as food scientist or food technocrat.
