HELLO A MUTHUMANI

THANKS FOR ASKING

B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering (B.Tech AE) is a 4-year undergraduate course in agricultural studies and processes. The minimum eligibility for this course requires passing class 12th/ Higher Secondary Examination in Biology, Maths, and Chemistry. The mode of admission is through State/ National/ University Joint Entrance Examination or Pre Engineering Test.

The average tuition fee for this course ranges between INR 70,000 to 3.5 Lacs

B. Tech AE graduates can find various Career Options and Jobs in sectors such as Agri-business firms, food processing, agricultural research and development firms, government sectors etc. The job profiles for graduates of this course can be a research scientist, lecturer, microbiologist etc. A fresh graduate of this course can expect an annual salary of between INR 1.5 – 2.5 Lacs which would only increase with experience in the field.

Agricultural Engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the study of agricultural process and technological practices in food processing and efficient production of food. Agriculture is the largest participant in the Indian Economy. It is needless to say that a career in Agriculture in India is nothing but bright and shining.

How to Get Admission in Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Agricultural Engineering)

Many colleges have a Common Entrance Examination which leads to the admission to the B.Tech AE course.

If the candidate is eligible, students can follow the process given below.

· Application Form

· Entrance Exam/ Counselling

· Admission

Mode of Entrance

· Mathematics

· Biology

· Selection Process

The selection process varies in two ways from college to college either by accepting the candidate’s admission solely on the Entrance Examination Score

and/or

Declaring a merit list based on candidate’s performance in Entrance Exam as well as their qualifying score.

UG: You should have passed 10+2 in science stream (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) from a recognised board.Independent entrance tests for Agricultural Engineering are also held by the various state, central, and private universities which mostly require 50% as the prerequisite to appear for the test.

PG: A Bachelor's degree (B.E or B. Tech) in Agricultural Engineering along with a good score in entrance tests held for PG programme held by the various state, central, and private universities are required.

HOPE IT HELPS

ALL THE BEST

To pursue a B.Tech degree in Agricultural Engineering, one must study PCM, preferably with Biology in their Grade 12 examinations. Indian Council for Agricultural Research holds a separate entrance exam for B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering. Some colleges also accept JEE score and specific states have their own entrance examination.
