Agricultural Engineering

1. The programme offers an opportunity to students to learn how to design and supervise the construction of agricultural buildings and storage facilities. Budding engineers would learn about the designing of livestock structures, greenhouses, silos, and cold-storage facilities for the crops. They would also know how to design and evaluate equipment that would be used for the preparation of the ground for seeding, spraying and harvesting. Under the programme, they would also get to learn management and entrepreneurial skills.
2. Students from both the biology and maths stream are eligible to pursue BE agricultural and irrigation engineering course after successfully completing the 10+2 in science stream from a recognised college or university. The minimum marks secured in physics, chemistry and mathematics or biology stream may vary and certain institutes take into account the marks that were scored in the entrance examination by the candidates
3. Since a large section of the population is dependent on the agriculture and with rapid technological advancements taking place in this field, the role of agriculture and irrigation engineers has come to acquire significance. Agricultural engineers can play a pivotal role in developing and designing equipment that is not only at par with international standards but also meets domestic requirements. Today, a lot of emphases is laid on setting up one's own business and it is in this regard that an agriculture and irrigation engineer can take upon himself the role of an entrepreneur. The irrigation engineer needs to ensure that steps are being taken to protect plants from frost in cold climates. Irrigation systems are also used in dry areas as this is the only way to supply water to the crops.

Hey dear:
I will prefer you to take B.Tech not B.Sc Agriculture. I say this due to following reasons:
I) B.Tech will give you a technical hand which is highly preferred by companies. A technical person is supposed to tackle problems with ease.
ii)B.Tech will give you more salary in any firm or company. B.Sc person will get comparatively lower salary.
iii) The syllabus of B.Sc is vast and it is far more then B.Tech syllabus. So if you are a decent student, you will do great in engineering.
iv) You have more career options available after B.Tech. The options after B.Sc are limited.
v) You have an opportunity of foreign placements through B.Tech while simple B.Sc will not get you a foreign call.
Above all these, think possible if you have to choose a good college or university. You may go to: http://www.rtu.ac.in/RTU/reap
You can choose some best colleges in Rajasthan. One of them Anand ICE, SKIT and JECRC, Jaipur as it will provide better education with latest labs, best faculty members, global exposure and good placements. You may go to: www.anandice.ac.in/admissions
