BAU - Opportunity for Growth

Admission:

To take admisson in BAU university, JCECEB takes exams every year around may - june. You need to qualify the exam with rank under 300 to gain college under BAU. Syllabus of exam 11 and 12 PCM / PCB. Application fees is around 1000. Exam is not that much difficult. With good preparation you can qualify it. There is nothing like cut off. Everyone gets ranking in this exam but gain admission under BAU colleges you need to be under 300 rank. Councelling process is very slow. It should be improved.

Birsa Agricultural University Ranchi: 1 Answered Question

How can I take admission in BAU for B.SC Agriculture, if I got less than 50% in intermediate?

Jatin ParmarMBA from NMIMS (Graduated 2018)

Birsa Agricultural University (BAU) Ranchi, offers UG and PG-level courses in Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, and Forestry streams. Admission to BAU Ranchi is done on the basis of the Entrance Examination.

Students with science backgrounds in PCB can opt for any particular major from Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences, Animal Husbandry, and Forestry, while students with PCM backgrounds can apply only for agriculture and forestry. The total number of seats present for B.Sc (H) Agriculture is 50. The Institute does not mention any minimum class 12 % required for admission as the eligibility criteria simply state that the candidate should have completed class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics as compulsory subjects from a recognized board.

So, I don't think your low intermediate marks will affect your chances of admission to BAU in any way
