Ans: A BSc Agriculture offers diverse career opportunities in agribusiness, research, government roles (e.g., agricultural officer, soil scientist), and environmental sustainability, with emerging fields like precision farming and biotechnology enhancing future prospects. Top colleges include Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Delhi (NIRF #1, 90% placements), Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana (NIRF #3, strong industry ties), and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore (NIRF #6, 85% placements). Banaras Hindu University (BHU) (NIRF #4) and Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (NIRF #7) also provide robust curricula and research opportunities. Admission via CUET is feasible for Ambedkar University Delhi, GGSIPU, and state universities like UAS Bangalore (NIRF #11). For backups, consider state agricultural universities (e.g., Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Pune) or private institutes like Lovely Professional University, balancing affordability and placement support. Pairing BSc Agriculture with MSc/MBA later can further enhance career flexibility in agri-tech or policy roles. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

MF, PF Expert - Answered on Jun 23, 2025

Money
I am going to retire and get 1 cr..I have a house to stay and no other investments.how to plan my money.i am survived with wife
Ans: Hi Lakkara,

Retirement is a long period of time of approx. 20 years. During this period as you may not have any income, the corpus you have needs to fulfill your monthly expenses.

The plan of utilizing your 1 crore corpus for retirement plan depends on multiple factors - monthly expenses, risk profile and other requirements.
For now I will assume, your risk as moderate and there are no other requirements.

So here's what you need to do (assuming monthly expenses of 60K).
1. Calculate your expenses (monthly/annually) e.g. @50k per month expenses, annual expenses = 6 lacs.
2. Calculate you annual expenses for the next 4 years (you can use inflation e.g. 6% increase each year). e.g. Year 2 exp is 6*1.06=6.36L, Yr3=6.74L, Y4=7.15L, Y5=7.57L
3. Calculate annual expenses for the remaining years also in same manner e.g. Y6 = 8.03L, etc.
Divide your Corpus into 3 buckets.
Bucket 1 - your savings account - keep 1 year expenses in it and withdraw for monthly expenses.

Bucket 2 - Fixed Deposits - Keep next 4 years expenses in FDs that will earn same as rate of inflation i.e. 6%. Ensure you have FD's maturing each year for the annual expenses calculated above. Match maturity amount with calculated expenses above. So a total of 24L will be invested FDs, 6L for every year's expenses.

Bucket 3 - Hybrid Mutual funds - Keep the remaining amount e.g. 1Cr - 30L = 70 Lacs in a Hybrid Mutual fund like HDFC Balance Advantage fund. These funds have a combination of Debt and Equity investments. They provide some growth to the amount you invest and also cushion the down times in the market. After 2 years, from this fund, you can plan to withdraw your annual expenses for that year e.g. Y3 (Y3 = 6.74L), and invest it in an FD with maturity of 3 years (giving you Y6 exp = 8.03L).
Repeat this withdrawal from MF (for amount that same as that years expenses and Investment into FD for maturity of 3 years.

In this way if the MF gives a return of 10% (or above), you will have covered your annual expenses and still have a corpus of over 45L with you at the end of 20 years.

So what's important for you to do it calculate your monthly expenses and if it matches the numbers I have assumed above, you will be fine for a comfortable retirement life. So it all depends on your monthly expenses and other factors for the plan.

You can consult a CFP for a more comprehensive retirement plan based on your requirements.
