Hey everyone,

My younger brother has just completed his 11th in the agriculture stream, but he’s honestly very confused about what to do next. We don’t have much guidance around us, so I wanted to ask people who actually know this field.

We are trying to understand:

  • What career options are available after studying agriculture?
  • What types of jobs exist (government + private)?
  • How does someone actually enter this field (college → exams → job)?
  • Which exams are important (like ICAR, state exams, etc.)?
  • What is the general salary range for different roles?
  • How competitive is this field compared to others?
  • What skills or interests are important to succeed here?
  • How much effort/time is realistically needed to build a good career?
  • Are there good opportunities outside India as well?
  • What are some underrated or less-known career paths in agriculture?

Also:

  • Is agriculture still a good career choice in 2026?
  • What mistakes should beginners avoid?
  • If you were starting again, what would you do differently?

We would really appreciate honest, real-world advice (not just textbook info).

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to buy a new phone and my main priority is camera performance, especially for tricky lighting conditions like:

  • Sun / bright lights (without overexposure or light scattering)
  • Moon shots
  • Night sky / low-light scenes

Most phones I’ve used tend to blow out highlights, so I’m looking for something with good HDR and highlight control.

Requirements:

  • Budget: up to ₹35,000 (can stretch slightly with student discount)
  • Storage: 256GB
  • Good thermal performance (no major heating issues)
  • Decent video quality (I use CapCut for editing)

I don’t care much about gaming, just want a reliable camera that handles light properly.

My friend suggests, NOTHING CMF 2 pro

Would love suggestions based on real usage, especially if you’ve tried shooting sun/moon with your phone.

Thanks!
