Which has a better scope and why: Agriculture Engineering or Chemical Engineering?

Engineering courses are good in every term. But try to choose the field in which you have interest and curiosity. Both the courses are good in terms of placement but placement for chemical engineering is better than that of agricultural engineering. In chemical engineering there are private and government jobs whereas in agricultural engineering there are only government jobs. There are few private jobs in agricultural engineering. So agricultural engineering has good scope in government sector. Thus Chemical Engineering is better among these two in terms of Placements. Both the courses are good in terms of training, education, placement and further education. The average package for chemical engineering from a top institute is around 8-10 LPA whereas average package offered to an agricultural engineer from a top institute is 4-5 LPA. Pharma Companies like Sun pharma, Lupin Pharma, Zydus Wellness, Cadilla Pharma , Unison, Dr. Reddy, Glenmark, Dabur, Mankind, etc takes a lots of chemical engineer for the jobs.

Agriculture, as well as chemicals both, constitute an essential part of one's life. One fulfills the necessary food and grains necessary for living whereas the other constituting the products regarding daily care as well in medical purposes. So both the branches find scope in the current and future world. One cannot distinguish both on the basis of the earnings as it may vary from person to person as well as locality. Although it depends on person to person that which stream he/she wants to choose and want to pursue his or her career in. One thing common in both the fields is that they provide a large scope in research. When coming to campus drives and placements, the chemical aspirants have more packages offered than agriculture students and also have more chances of abroad placements. So, practically one should go for the chemical branch for a better lifestyle in future. Also, it is difficult for one to get into chemical than agriculture. At last, whatever branch you chose from the both, pursue it from a well-renowed government or automous institution or top private institution otherwise it may be a struggle for you after 4 years. Thank you. Hope it helped.

Agricultural Engineering is the branch of applied science where engineering skills and technology is used to reduce the drudgery and increase the outcome in agriculture. It helps to make agriculture sustainable, profitable and competitive enterprise through engineering interventions of farm mechanization, value addition and energy management in production and post harvest operations. Some posts: Agriculture Officer Quality Assurance Officer Farm Manager Research Engineer Process Manager Purchase Manager Agricultural Engineer Agricultural Crop Engineer Agricultural Inspector Agricultural Specialist Farm Shop Manager Researcher Environmental Controls Engineer Food Supervisor Plant Physiologist Agronomist Microbiologist Soil Scientist Survey Research Agricultural Engineer Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (physics and chemistry), life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. A chemical engineer designs large-scale processes that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into useful forms and products. For chemical you have: Process work: Some work in chemical plants doing mass and energy balance apart from the troubleshooting work. They try to reduce downtime of various operational failures. Design work: Some select the type of equipment based on available literature and do the sizing of various equipment and pipes. They do modelling/simulation and the process calculations. Research work: Some do mostly chemistry related work with few modelling involved.There will be few who never use chemical engineering as it is not required. Teaching work: All offer chemical engineering education to students. Support work: Some do the operation of equipment which supports the process/research. Some help in plant installation. So, as you see both sectors provide many opportunities as such. For current scenario, Chemical engineering has more scope as compared to agricultural engineering in terms of jobs and placements. In future, agricultural engineering will surely have a pretty good scope.

Let's have scope battle between agriculture engineering and chemical engineering. Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that essentially deals with the engineering of chemicals to identify and solve technical glitches.Chemical engineering also works with fields such as nanotechnology, and bioengineering.The industries that employ chemical engineers are as follows: architectural, engineering, and related services, basic chemical manufacturing scientific research and development services Resin, synthetic rubber, and artificial synthetic fibers and filaments manufacturing petroleum and coal products manufacturing, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies business services, health-care industries, food manufacturing unites, electronics and energy manufacturers. Agricultural engineering is the branch of engineering that applied engineering science disciplines and technology practices to the efficient production and processing of food, feed, fiber, and fuels. job roles for agricultural engineering are agricultural engineer, agricultural crop engineer, agricultural inspector, agricultural specialist, farm shop manager, researcher environmental controls engineer, food supervisor plant physiologist and agricultural engineer. According to the given information, chemical engineering has better scope than agriculture engineering because agriculture engineering has its own limits in the field of research whereas chemical engineering has no bound in the field of research. The average package given to chemical engineer is more than agriculture engineer. Hope it helps!

Agricultural Engineering deals with the various technologies involved in the agriculture. Some of these include harvesting techniques, irrigation, farm management, food processing, solar energy, poultry. In short an agricultural engineer deals with various farm operations. Chemical engineering deals with the design and operation of the processes involved in the production of various chemicals, foods, drugs (pharma), etc. They optimize the existing processes to maximize the yield of the product, ultimately leading to the betterment of the company economy. Both of these fields are very good. India is an agrarian (krishipradhan) country, so if you wish you can explore this agricultural field. You can find a wide scope. The chemical engineering stream has got a wide scope worldwide undoubtedly. After a few years of experience with these fields, both of the fields become well paying. But mostly for engineering students, along with a salary package, interest does matter. So, in the end, it depends all on the interest of yours.

There are so many Engineering branches available out there, choosing the right one has become very difficult task for students. Mainly student choose old branch which came since long time but now a days as requirement increases then different branch also came into role. Many student even don't know about many branch. And many college does not take admission in these new branch so student doesn't think about these branch. Chemical engineering (CE) is quite old then agricultural engineering(AE)so student know about CE but many still don't know about AE they know only biology student can do this so they don't think about this branch but now a days as engineering is losing their popularity so it is really tough for students to choose this stream. I think choosing a branch which has less crowd is more safe then from taking CSE, ME EEE or any other core brach. As in future time We need development in Agriculture also as land are less so we need a drastic improvement in this field so that we can survive in future. Even government also give an opportunity to student to study and they give job of an average of minimum 4 Lakhs starting salary. Even one can go to private sector form Agriculture engineering in which there is good salary. Or, after doing B.tech from AE it open door that will lead one to the R&D sector also. One may also work as a consultant and start ones own venture.
