Hello!

You should take some government exams to get a government job in agriculture field. Exams like FCI, UPSC, AIC, IBPS, NSCI, etc. As it is a 4 years undergraduate course that majorly focuses on research, plant breeding, soil science, agricultural microbiology etc. When it comes to scope you can become a agriculturists, agriculture research scientist, agriculture development officers, agriculture technician, plantation manager etc. At the beginning stages you will earn from 3Lakhs to 6.5 Lakhs, but for a experienced person it will increase from 10Lakhs to 15lakhs.

For cooperation and banking segment, mostly they will be recruited in banks. They will play a vital role in national and international money transactions. They play the role of accountant, cashier. banking managers etc. They can have salary from 5Lakhs to 15lakhs.

For BSc forestry, again it is a good domain. Scope for forestry is that forester, forest range officer, natural resource technician, lectures, etc. can get from 2Lakhs to 10Lakhs per annum with experience salary increases.

For fisheries science, there is scope for this domain in both public as well as private sectors. The opportunities are fish breeding, aquarium, fish processing, marketing sectors, food department, etc. Salary wise they have less scope =. They get paid off from 10k to 1Lakh per month. Choose wisely. Hope the answer was helpful.

Thank You
