KVAFSU Admissions: Students' Opinion

  • BVSc

AI-Generated Summary based on 33 Reviews

Admission to the Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) program at Karnataka Veterinary Animal and Fisheries Sciences University primarily occurs through two avenues: the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) and VCI counselling, which is part of the All India quota. The KCET is crucial for those seeking entry via the state channel, with cutoffs subject to annual variation, historically around a rank of 3000. Candidates typically come from a science background, having completed their 2nd PUC with subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology (PCMB).

Accepted students are required to register within a week of their offer to confirm their place, which is standard for medical and allied courses. The admissions process is acknowledged as being intensive, reflecting typical medical college procedures. However, the program's merit is recognized by students who find the experience worthwhile. Additionally, food and accommodation facilities are reported as satisfactory despite the institution's relative newness, which has a limited number of senior batches guiding the incoming students.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

This university was the only one I applied for and Bangalore college was my top priority bcz of the exposure and the rabies lab making it one of the most prestigious veterinary colleges in India. Admission is done through Kcet and Neet examination . If through Kcet it's necessary to be a domicile of Karnataka. Through NEET it happens via VCI counseling . After that NRI counselling is done . Admission process was complex because lot of documents were demanded . And they took a long time to verify the documents . It was a lengthy process

The admission is solely done on the basis of NEET score for All India Quota and KCET for state students. The entire process is under the control of KVAFS University and VCI. So one has to score very well in NEET to get into this college.
