Best of Luck.

Definitely, each year many people switch their field of interest and take up a different branch in MTech than what they took in B.Tech. The only thing which you'll have to do is that clear the paper of GATE in EC and prepare well for the interviews, as the professors will be hell bent on knowing that why you want to switch you field, so keep your answer ready for these. Other than these you'll be good to go.

All the best!

Hello,
Having not opted for Mathematics in your Class 12th, you are not eligible for pursuing B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering, because it is mandatory to have Mathematics, Physics and chemistry in Class 12 as a main subjects of education.

But there is another option that is after you have completed your Class 12th with PCB, you can go for B.Sc. in Agriculture degree course, only if you are interested .
