Heyyy are you still preparing for ICAR ug with ABC stream

hi,

see agriculture engineers generally work on the technical parts of work related with agriculture companies, manufacturing works, mills where different food products manufacturers.  may work as a business analyst in agriculture business farms etc. see in india there is less opportunity for agriculture engineers to work in core department, so thats why you may do m.tech on pollution control or environment science related stream which has better opportunity. also mba in agribusiness management is also a good options to pursue higher studies.

Hello Aspirant,

As we know that ICAR is national body which provides approval for agricultural courses for various institutes by judging them upon different parameters. So if you do B.Sc. agriculture from VIT Vellore which is not approved by ICAR so you might get less opportunities in future as compare to ICAR approved agricultural degree.

So I would suggest you to do agricultural course only if it is ICAR approved because this will also provide you a quality education for that course.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
