Hi there,

Bsc Agriculture is a good course but nowadays its value is not that much good as compared to previous years. Coming to your point which one is good among MSC agricukture economics and MBA in IIM.

See i would suggest you go with MBA from IIM . The reason for selecting this is because of better opportunities and a safe career further. If you select MSC Agriculture then you will be bounded among this sector and I you select MBA then there are very high chances that you can switch to other sectors in future.  Alsp, I would suggest you to work harder if you get IIM since you will literally get better opportunities. Only just a push of hardwork is must.

Hope you find this information helpful

Revert here in case of any query. Thank you!!!
