Abstract: Agricultural education aims in agricultural human resource development for not only generating new technologies, but also in their assessment, refinement and dissemination to the farming community. The present study aims to find out the aspirations of the agricultural graduates regarding their career. The study was conducted among B.Sc. Agriculture degree holders through open online survey using ‘Google forms’ and ‘Facebook’. Among the sixty four respondents, majority of the respondents are having medium level of educational, agricultural, career, economic and social aspiration. Overall aspiration is positively associated with respondent’s gender, parent’s occupation, mass media exposure and information seeking behaviour. Age of the respondents and the place where family is dwelling is negatively associated with their overall aspiration. Majority of the students had medium level of overall aspiration. Therefore, efforts should be made to change the medium level of aspiration to high level of aspiration by eliminating the technical gaps in the present educational system.
