Which has a better job scope: B.Sc in economics or B.Sc in agriculture?

Hi Juri, Future after B.Sc. Economics: The scopes will be defined according to your interest. Broadly, there are three avenues: Academia: Pursue Masters in economics or related subjects (Statistics, Data Science) and then pursue Ph.D. and then there are three options: stay in academia, move over to industry (investment banks, rating agencies etc. ). Or join the government in consulting positions (Central banks, World bank, IMF etc. ). Industry: Basically go for Masters in data analytics or MBA, as preference maybe, and then join the corporate world. Government: You can start preparing for the UPSC CSE, RBI, IBPS PO etc. However, for B.Sc. In Agriculture: Lots of Government as well as Private job opportunities are present in front of Graduates. Talking about Government jobs, State Agriculture Departments recruits Graduates to fill up Officer level posts. Government Banks also recruits Graduates to fill up Officer level posts (generally dealing with Loans). Talking about Private Sector jobs, 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. Average starting salary is generally between 2-4.5 Lacs Rupees per year. You can go for, Research Officer Quality Assurance Officer Agriculture Officer Agriculture Loan Officer (in Banks) Production Manager Operations Manager Farm Manager You have to decide where you wish to be at. I think this information helps you. All the best.
