PAU B.Sc {Hons.} Nutrition & Dietetics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) requires entrance exams: PAU-CET for bachelor's and PAU-MET for master's programs, except B.Tech. Agricultural Engineering, which requires JEE Mains. For B.Sc. Hons. Agriculture, a rank below 100 is needed. The entrance exam in June is followed by 3-4 counseling rounds, ending by early August. PAU boasts a knowledgeable faculty, many of whom are alumni, providing valuable support and insights to students. Each student is assigned an advisor for continuous guidance.

The fee structure at PAU is moderate, generally affordable for middle-class families, with limited scholarships for general category students but better opportunities for other categories. The College of Agriculture has a feasible fee structure, whereas the College of Basic Sciences and self-dependent courses in the College of Community Sciences are pricier but still manageable. The university lacks in-campus placements, with only 2-3 students out of 60 securing jobs via university efforts.

Students must independently find employment, leveraging their knowledge and confidence. While PAU does not offer internships to external students, it assists its own in securing external internships. Agriculture students can access internships with stipends up to Rs. 21,000 for 2-3 months, while other students must seek unpaid internships externally and may face costs. Various scholarships are available based on economic need, category, and academic performance, as detailed in the university prospectus.
