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.
