 Yes, BTech in Agricultural and Farming Engineering is the most suitable course to pursue a career in agriculture and its related fields.

Here are some of the popular career path with their salaries, that a candidate after completing BTech in agriculture and farming engineering can opt as career options are:

Many candidates also prefer to go for higher study and enroll in M.Tech courses for even better career opportunities.

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 syllabus is not similar in all the Indian colleges. Talking about the first year of BTech, the general subjects taught are almost similar that include Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and other engineering fundamentals to provide a basic foundation for the BTech course ahead. Further, the BTech syllabus will differ on the basis of the specialisation you have chosen and the college, different colleges follow their own set of guidelines regarding the course curriculum that includes both core and elective subjects along with practical lab work.

Agricultural engineers are usually involved in many 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.
