I heard lots of rumors about eligibility of forestry students for the post of "Agriculture field officer". I am also forestry student, the latest notification which released for IBPS SO in 2016 I think, does not included B.Sc Forestry, it is still Agro-forestry. Some people saying that I am eligible but others saying that IBPS later removed forestry students after the news came (Which is the forestry students are eligible for SO) I want to know exactly that am I eligible or not. Please inform. Thank You.
