No, as compared to other engineering courses such as Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, CSE, and Electronic Engineering, Agricultural and Farming Engineering is easy. However, Agricultural and farm engineering often combines mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering techniques to address particular issues that arise in farming and agricultural systems. While some students could struggle with particular portions of the curriculum, but others who are well informed with these subjects can do quite well.
