Scope of a course in Agriculture: Lots of Government as well as Private job opportunities are present in front of Graduates. Talking about Government jobs, State Agriculture Departments recruits Graduates to fill up Officer level posts. Government Banks also recruits Graduates to fill up Officer level posts (generally dealing with Loans). Talking about Private Sector jobs, graduates may find jobs as Managers at Plantations, as Officers at Fertilizer Manufacturing firms, Agriculture Machinery Industries, Agricultural Products Marketing firms, Food processing units etc. Average starting salary is generally between 2-4.5 Lacs Rupees per year. Some well known job posts available in front of Graduates are- Research Officer Quality Assurance Officer Agriculture Officer Agriculture Loan Officer (in Banks) Production Manager Operations Manager Farm Manager One may also work as an independent consultant after gaining work experience in the above mentioned fields.
