Agriculture graduates can find themselves a job in research firms, government agencies, agri-business firms, the farming sector, and can also pursue a master's in the relevant field to expand their careers into the academic side. A BSc in agriculture can also act as a foundation for government exams like UPSC. In a country as populous as India, the vegetative practices and the agriculture sector as a whole are only expected to grow from this point on. 

Of course, Agriculture and allied sector not only remained insulated from economic slowdown or pandemic but has registered better growth than other sectors. Other industries have faced the problem of downsizing during a pandemic but the agriculture sector remained aloof from lay-offs, pay cuts and forced resignations. There will never be a downturn or slow down when it comes to feeding the world population.
