Hi,
If we talk about M.Sc. Agriculture, first, you need to check if the university is accepting Biotech or not. Then talking about career with M.Sc. Agriculture and Ph.D., later on, you have a bright career in government and private universities as well as companies. But with Just M.Sc., you will get mostly sales profile jobs. For M.Sc. biotech, if you take admission in top universities like Lovely Professional University Punjab and Amity University Noida, then your placement prospects are good, otherwise, in the private sector, it will be difficult.

If you are a B.Sc student in biotechnology or any other biological sciences related fields, it is highly recommended that you pursue your M.Sc.
Many M.Sc students tend to pursue their PhD degrees in biotechnology or related fields as a PhD degree opens up more avenues both in India and worldwide. So, if you are entering this field be prepared to study or work till PhD to ensure a decent job. While doing PhD you get a fellowship of around INR 25,000 per month which is good enough for a single person to survive.
