Depends on where you are joining. As far as I know best Institutes for Food Technology include IIT Kharagpur, NIT Rourkela, GB Pant and a couple more.

As far as Core placements are concerned they might be dearth, but that doesnt mean there are no opportunities. As far as IIT KGP and GB Pant are concerned, companies like Mondelez, Nestle and Aditya Birla Group are regular recruiters. Apart from these there are numerous FMCGs which line up for taking Agricultural , Dairy and Food Process Engineers. Most of the Placements are in either of Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana Region or to the West in Gujrat and Maharashtra.

You can also pursue a PGP-FABM from IIM Ahmedabad or an MBA from IRMA Ahmedabad after Btech in Food Technology.

There are Excellent Placements and secondly the chances of securing a seat in these 2 courses are comparatively better for one having a background in Food Technology.

Australia and New Zealand provide excellent opportunities for Food Engineers and Food Quality Managers and one can even plan a Masters in Food Process or Agriculture Management post Bachelors.

Besides this one can always shift sectors to Non Core and IT or Consultancy, while pursuing Btech. Perhaps Food Process and Agricultural Engineers are born Consultants and Business Managers, as they have several components of Economics and Rural Innovation Management in their respective courses.

Secondly, an Agricultural and Food Process Engineer always has the flexibility to change streams and pursue Masters in Chemical Process Engineering ,Engineering Science, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and Environment Engineering or Bioengineering and Biotechnology as and when desired apart from Food and Dairy Technology.
