<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is much scope for a good career in Agricultural engineering as most of the students run behind Computer science, Electrical, Mechanical and other engineering courses. So there is shortage of Agricultural engineers in the public as well as private sectors.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
