B.Sc. Agriculture Hons. Is good choice. Lots of new opportunities are emerging in Agriculture Sector that will help you in future.
However, B.Sc. Agriculture is not considered as core professional course.
If you have option for any government college or central university then it will be more beneficial for you because fees for LPU is higher as compared to other government funded colleges.
Good Luck.
