Abstract : Choosing a right and relevant career path is very important for the youth of today. Everyone aspires to achieve something unique in their life. The present study was conducted in a premier State Agriculture University (SAU) in Uttarakhand to find out the career aspirations of Undergraduate Agriculture students. The study sample comprised of final year students of Undergraduate course, i.e. B. Sc. Agriculture. Following the census method of sampling, the study included all the final year Undergraduate Agriculture students (n=126). The study findings revealed that“ pursuing higher studies, i.e. doing M.Sc. /Ph. D.” was found to be the most preferred career aspiration of Undergraduate Agriculture students followed by “becoming a scientist in ICAR (Indian Council of Agriculture Research) system”, “securing an administration position in SAU/ICAR”, “securing job in central government” whereas “becoming a Professor/Teacher in an SAU” was the least preferred career choice. Further, student’s academic performance, family background, parent’s occupation, parent’s annual income, mass media exposure, and achievement motivation displayed a positive and significant correlation with career aspirations of the undergraduate agricultural students. The study findings will be helpful for higher agriculture educationists, agriculture policymakers and planners to understand the nature and extent of career aspirations and accordingly devise suitable policies and promote alternative occupations.
