Hello aspirant,

I hope you're doing well.

Well, first let's look into these 2 courses in brief:

1. BSC GEOLOGY : it is a 3 year undergraduate programme whose focus is on earth science.

Eligibility:  Minimum 55% aggregate in class 12             with PCM.

Fees : The average fees for bsc geology is around       10,000 to 30,000.

Scope : Several job opportunities are available             after completing BSc in Geology-  Geologist,                  Petrologist, Hydrogeologist, Mine                                 Supervisor, etc in some of the top                                   companies. The starting salary offered after BSc Geology is around INR 3-4 LPA.

Some of the best colleges are presidency college, hansraj college, st. Xavier's Mumbai, etc.


2. BSC AGRICULTURE

it is a four year undergraduate programme which primarily focuses on research and development of agricultural sector.

Eligibility: minimum 50% aggregate in class 12 with subjects physics,  chemistry and biology.

Scope : as we know, india is an agriculture based economy,  almost 60%of our population is dependent on agriculture.  There are various career opportunities for bsc agriculture  such as

1. Agriculture officer

2. Agriculture research scientist

3. Marketing executive

So, both of these courses are good, what matters is your interest mainly. Do whatever you feel will be more interesting for you, something you will enjoy.

But yeah,according to the statistics,  bscin agriculture has more scope in government jobs.

I hope my answer helps you.
