EARLIAR THE COFS, VERAVAL CAME UNDER JUNAGADH AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY BUT NOW IT IS UNDER KAMDHENU UNIVERSITY. THE ADMISSION WAS PROCESS WAS QUITE SMOOTH, YOU JUST HAVE TO FILL THE ONLINE FORM AVILABLE AT THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE UNIVERSITY AND AFTER THE SELECCTION IN THE MERIT LIST, YOU NEED TO GO TO THE COLLEGE FOR DOCUMENT VERIFICATION. THE ELIGIBILITY FOR BFSc IS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE YOUR 12TH STD WITH BIOLOGY. IT IS QUITE EASY TO GET THE ADMISSION IF YOU DID YOUR 12TH FROM GUJARAT BOARD, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE IF YOU DID IT FROM OTHER BOARD LIKE CBSE OR ICSE THEN IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE SEATS ARE LESS FOR OTHER BOARD.
