B.Tech. in Agricultural Engineering 

at College of Agricultural Engineering, Gujarat - Other

The salary of an engineer depends on various factors like specialization, role, organization, and work. The average starting salary in India for a fresh engineering graduate can range from INR 3-5 Lacs per annum. The salaries vary according to the number of years of experience as well as location. Many companies offer greater salary packages in metropolitan cities which are hub for IT companies as well as other reputed MNCs. The salary also varies as per the entry level of the candidate. After gaining experience of 2-5 years, candidates can expect a salary of INR 8-12 Lacs per annum and subsequently shift from technical to managerial positions.

Major subjects included in BTech Agricultural and Farming Engineering course are:

Below are some of the general subjects that you can pick during your BTech studies, as these course will advance your technical and practical knowledge:

Mathematics: A mathematical background includes understanding of Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations and Statistic Stamina.
Physics: Mechanics, electricity & magnetism, kinetics & dynamics, thermodynamics and wave & optics.
Chemistry: This common general chemistry course involves sub-topics such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry among others.
Programming: C+,  Python,  Java
Engineering fundamentals: Statistics, dynamics, fluids and their action, heat and its work, properties of matter
Engineering design: Aesthetics, reasoning process, design tools and methods, using of computer-aided design (CAD).

Rest, the subjects taught in the BTech courses would be specialization-specific, based on your chosen field.

The BTech Agricultural Engineering syllabus is not similar for all colleges and universities in India. Every institution has a certain set of curriculum guidelines that they follow and set the syllabus in that manner. But, the general topics covered in Agricultural Engineering classes are usually the same.
Some important concepts include agricultural processes in industries, farm machinery, surveying methods, soil investigation, tools and control of machinery, horticulture and field crops. You will get a good hang of the field after you pursue a BTech degree course in this field that covers both theoretical as well technical aspects.

The B.Tech Agricultural Engineering syllabus has both core and elective subjects as a part of the coursework. The elective subjects give you an opportunity to explore and experiment, making the course exciting for you. Some of the elective subjects included in the syllabus are:

·       Floods and Control Measures

·       Wasteland Development

·       Remote Sensing and GIS Applications

·       Information Technology for Land and Water Management

·       Management of Canal Irrigation System

·       Farming Techniques for Protected Cultivation

·       Water Quality and Management Measures

Agricultural engineers are usually involved in a plethora of tasks that revolve around the overall management of the agricultural production process. They look after product processing, drainage and irrigation systems, soil health, up keeping of agricultural machinery, forecasting of weather to ensure the crop is rightly produced, etc. They also have to plan and come up with cost-effective strategies to ensure best output.

Agriculture and Farming Engineering is a fusion of technology and agriculture. It includes deep knowledge of agricultural activities, alternatives for farming, food production, food process, and food marketing. It also combines other related areas such as plant biology, animal biology, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering.
