Agricultural Engineering

Anna University is one of the best colleges for engineering in India.
It is known for old and architectural infrastructure faculty with great experience and knowledge facilities provided by it like sports complex, Wi-Fi and labs are well equipped by the instruments and machines.
There are many colleges which are affiliated to Anna University.
Agriculture and irrigation engineering is one of the new courses which has been started after 2010 due to this there are not many companies which have been interested to take these engineers in the companies.
Agriculture and irrigation engineering deals with the problems of agriculture and the irrigation processes of the field and maintaining them.
Placement of the students of agriculture and irrigation engineering is one of the worst placements that can a student can have.
Placement of the students of agriculture and irrigation engineering is about 2 to 3 LPA therefore most of the students do don't take the jobs of but go for higher studies in different fields like MBA or UPSC, etc.

Agriculture, as well as chemicals both, constitute an essential part of one's life.
One fulfills the necessary food and grains necessary for living whereas the other constituting the products regarding daily care as well in medical purposes.
So both the branches find scope in the current and future world. One cannot distinguish both on the basis of the earnings as it may vary from person to person as well as locality.
Although it depends on person to person that which stream he/she wants to choose and want to pursue his or her career in.
One thing common in both the fields is that they provide a large scope in research.
When coming to campus drives and placements, the chemical aspirants have more packages offered than agriculture students and also have more chances of abroad placements.
So, practically one should go for the chemical branch for a better lifestyle in future. Also, it is difficult for one to get into chemical than agriculture.
At last, whatever branch you chose from the both, pursue it from a well-renowed government or automous institution or top private institution otherwise it may be a struggle for you after 4 years.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

The placement from TNAU for agricultural engineering is really very nice as compared to many other deemed educational institutions and private institutions teaching agriculture as a part of their syllabus. Being a central government-funded institution, it has a large syllabus and a great pool of knowledge from experienced and skilled faculty members. Also, the college is providing regular workshops and seminars to produce skilled farmers as well as agricultural corporates. Coming to the placement statistics of recent years which is continuously rising accompanied by ever-increasing demand from the industries having an average placement of Rs. 6 lakhs per annum and around highest being up to 12 lakhs which are considered very nice from our non-core branch. One can get admission into the university by cracking its own exam and then after going through a couple of counselling rounds. Moreover, agriculture field is one of the most productive and never-ending fields in which the passionate aspirants can definitely pursue their career. Thank you. I hope it will help you. Feel free to ask more.
