The Department of Agricultural Engineering in LJCET was started in the year 2022 with the intake of 60 students which offers a UG programme (B.Tech) in Agricultural Engineering. Agricultural engineers may perform tasks such as planning, supervising and managing the building of dairy effluent schemes, irrigation, drainage, flood water control systems, performing environmental impact assessments, agricultural product processing and interpret research results and implement relevant practices. Agricultural sciences include research and development on:

• Improving agricultural productivity in terms of quantity and quality (e.g., selection of drought-resistant crops and animals, development of new pesticides, yield-sensing technologies, simulation models of crop growth, in-vitro cell culture techniques)
• Minimizing the effects of pests (weeds, insects, pathogens, mollusks, nematodes) on crop or animal production systems.
• Transformation of primary products into end-consumer products (e.g., production, preservation, and packaging of dairy products)
• Prevention and correction of adverse environmental effects (e.g., soil degradation, waste management, bioremediation)
• Theoretical production ecology, relating to crop production modeling

     A pragmatic Professional Career in the field of Agricultural Engineering gets knitted with a multi-disciplinary application of the Agricultural Science (fundamentals from botany, zoology, microbiology, crop production, crop protection etc) and Engineering Designs involving the basics of Soil Conservation and Water Resources Development, Farm Machinery, Tractors, Implements and Crop Processing Units.
