Hi,

A student with science stream (physics, chemistry, biology)can easily do this course,since you know that india 60% population resides in agriculture only so you have lots of scope in this sector.

The basic eligibility required that student must have passed 12th standard with recognized board and the aggregate Mark's should be 50%.

You have to give the entrance exam called icar aieea.

The top colleges for agriculture colleges are

1.aau,junagadh agriculturaluniversity,paruluniversity,sardarkrushinagar dantiwada agricultural university,kerala agricultural university.

You can become agricultural lawyer, food scientist,agriculture machinery industries, agricultural products marketing firms.

Hi,
Bachelor's in Agriculture is a good course for pursuing.
After doing the B.sc degree you can even get campus placements from the institute you studied.
You can go for government sector Agriculture Development Officer, Agriculture Extension Officer, Horticultural Officer etc.
In private sector also you can work in many industries for research purposes .
You can even do agricultural journalism in it.
Coming to the salary package, you should not expect to have a hefty payment in the beginning whether it is any course. The salary increases with the experience your earn. If you are a new comer and just possess Bachelor's degree you can expect the starting salary to be 20k-25k and if you have further Masters degree you can get 35k-40k . Moreover , it also depends upon the place you got recruited as this the average salary scale.
It can vary with the places.

Hope it helps.

Best Wishes
