Which is better Agriculture or BDS?

Both the Agriculture and BDS have very good scope and have equal importance. You can select any one of the course based on your Interest and future aspiration. However, I prefer that you can apply for BDS course instead Agriculture, which is having good scope.

Which has more salary?

The salary depends on various factors like, Technical Skill, Qualification and Company. If, you have a good Technical Skill, Qualification then definitely you may get high salary for sure. However, you must take special care while selecting the company to get high salary package.

Should I take M.Sc for better job?

Yes, it is true. If you complete Master then you may get good job based on your qualification. Qualification played a very important role at the time interview. So, It is good if you complete a Master's degree in relevant specialization.

Both of the courses are good and can fetch you a great career ahead, if you pursue it in the proper way.

However, I have mentioned below the career aspects of both the courses.
