Yes,it has a very good scope.In a country like India where 70% population is dependent on agriculture,it is sure that you will have a bright future.You will learn about technically working of machines used in agriculture.The graduates are placed in companies associated with machine production for agriculture.Also you can join dairy,bank etc.Also the competition is not very much after graduation as their are a few colleges in India offering this course.
Hope this helps.
