Admission to Ph.D. programs at state Agricultural universities in India is partially determined by the All India Entrance Examination conducted by ICAR, which allocates 25% of the seats for both M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs. ICAR also provides fellowships to top students in various agricultural disciplines. There are numerous faculty vacancies in these departments, leading to a heavy workload for current faculty members, who would benefit from these positions being filled promptly.
The Ph.D. program fee is Rs 43,500, which is relatively affordable compared to other professional courses like engineering. OBC students from Karnataka might receive fee concessions upon application. The college offers diverse job opportunities in both the public and private sectors, including roles in Agricultural universities, banks, and agriculture-related companies. However, there is no fixed recruitment schedule in Agricultural universities. Scholarships are available, with one awarded per department for exceptional students in both M.Sc.
and Ph.D. programs. Additionally, students admitted through the ICAR quota receive generous scholarships: Rs 31,000 per month for Ph.D. students and Rs 12,500 per month for M.Sc. students.
