The year-wise breakup is roughly Rs. 3,040 (Year 1), Rs. 2,950 (Year 2), and Rs. 2,870 (Year 3). SC/ST students pay as low as Rs. 500 per year as government scholarships cover the rest.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers in agriculture and horticulture departments, forest services, environmental consultancies, seed and fertiliser companies, and pharmaceutical companies dealing in plant-based products. Teaching at the school level (after B.Ed) is another popular option.

Pursuing M.Sc Botany at RTMNU-affiliated colleges or central universities is a common pathway for research-oriented students.

Students with a minimum of 50% marks (45% for SC/ST) are eligible. The process involves online registration on the college portal, merit list publication, document verification, and fee payment. No group discussion, personal interview, or entrance test is conducted.

Ans. Based on the 2025-26 pattern, the online registration portal opens around mid-May and closes in early September. After registration closes, the college publishes a merit list based on 10+2 marks. Shortlisted students are called for document verification at the campus. After verification, students pay the admission fees to confirm their seat. Classes typically commence in July.

Ans. DACN currently offers M.Sc in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Organic Chemistry, and Physics at the PG level. M.Sc Botany is not listed among the current PG offerings at DACN. Students wishing to pursue M.Sc Botany after completing their B.Sc from DACN would need to apply to other RTMNU-affiliated colleges or universities that offer M.Sc Botany, such as the Institute of Science, Nagpur, or RTMNU's own PG departments.
