B.Tech Agricultural Engineering is the engineering discipline that imparts engineering, science, and technology to improve and maintain agricultural production. Agricultural engineering consists of two words as 'Agricultural' and 'engineering'. 'Agricultural' stands for harvesting and husbandry. It is the cultivation of plants for foods, medicine and bio fuel and other substance that is useful for the human life. 'Engineering' is the application that involves practical and scientific knowledge in terms of the machine, process, invent, design, maintain, material, system, device, built and improve.
