Hello,

Comparison: B.Sc. Agriculture vs. B.Sc. Horticulture

  • B.Sc. Agriculture: Broader field; covers crops, soil, pest management, and animal husbandry. Wider government job opportunities in agricultural departments, banks, research centers, and teaching.
  • B.Sc. Horticulture: Specialized; focuses on fruits, vegetables, floriculture, and landscape gardening. Demand is high in niche sectors like export-oriented horticulture.

Government Jobs After B.Sc. Horticulture

  1. Horticulture Officer: Rs. 35,000–Rs. 1,00,000/month.
  2. Agriculture Development Officer: Rs. 40,000–Rs. 70,000/month.
  3. Research Assistant/Scientist: Rs. 50,000–Rs. 80,000/month.
  4. Forest Service Roles: Competitive salary.

Private Sector Opportunities

  1. Landscaping Expert: Rs. 30,000–Rs. 60,000/month.
  2. Export Specialist (Fruits/Flowers): Rs. 50,000–Rs. 80,000/month.
  3. Consultant in Agritech Firms: Rs. 40,000–Rs. 1,00,000/month.

Conclusion
Both fields offer strong opportunities, but horticulture suits those aiming for specialization and entrepreneurship. Agriculture offers broader government opportunities.

Hope it helps !
