However, given the growing competition and the use of advanced technology, it is advisable for persons interested in this field to undergo some form of formal training. Training is also required for those entering the areas of research as well as agro-industry.
There are now a large number of institutions, which offer graduate and postgraduate programs in agriculture and its allied fields. Universities offer both a B. Sc. and M. Sc. in agriculture. The Institute of Rural Management (IRMA) at Anand in Gujarat and the Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University at Hisar ar prominent among them.
To be eligible for the B. Sc. in agriculture, candidates would have to clear an entrance exam and should have passed their 10+2 with science subjects. To be eligible in M.
