I am a 12th student and I want to go in the field of Agriculture. But I am confused that how can go into it.

Hello Ashutosh,

There are many ways after 12th through which you can get in the field of agriculture. It depends on the kind of course you are interested in. Following are the courses which you can join after 12th:

• B. Sc Agriculture- Admission to this course is mostly entrance exam based such as ICAR, KEAM
• B.Sc. Horticulture- Admission to this course depends either on marks obtained by you in the qualifying exam or entrance exam such as HortiCET
• BE Agricultural Engineering/B.Tech Agricultural Engineering - Both of these course take admissions via entrance exam.

Apart from these, you can also choose to study Diploma or Certificate courses related to Agriculture.

Hope this helps you out, feel free to ask for more info.

Best wishes for your future.
