Hello Aspirant


The B.Sc.(Ag.) degree in India is typically a 4-year course under credit-based semester system. Like, BE/B. Tech or MBBS, B.Sc. in Agriculture is considered as a professional degree by Government of India. The course is not so popular among students but the demand for trained professionals in agriculture is very high. The minimum qualification for entry to B.Sc.(Ag.) is Intermediate (12 years of school education) in Science (with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and/or Mathematics) or Intermediate in Agriculture stream (limited states). The curriculum is very broad and inter-disciplinary consisting of courses in

1. Agronomy ,

2. Horticulture,

3. Plant Pathology,

4. Entomology,

5. Agricultural Economics,

6. Extension education,

7. Genetics and Plant Breeding,

8. Soil Science,

9. Food technology,

10. Animal Husbandry
apart from supporting courses in Basic Sciences, Humanities, and Agricultural Engineering. The program also includes a compulsory 1-semester Internship (Rural Agricultural Work Experience). Most of the courses are infused with practicality with emphasis on 'hands-on' experience and 'learning by doing'.
