Admission to the Bachelor of Fisheries Science (B.F.Sc.) program is primarily through the KEAM or ICAR AIEEA UG exams, with occasional spot admissions based on entrance exam rank. Each academic year, two batches of 80 students each are admitted. The college features experienced faculty with strong industry connections, although some departments are understaffed. The semester fee is approximately Rs. 7,000, with an added rental fee of Rs. 1,800, and separate hostel fees, bringing the total cost per semester to about Rs. 12,000.

Over the four-year course, the total cost is about Rs. 70,000. Scholarships are available through programs like E Grantz for SC/ST, OBC, OEC, and economically weaker students, with additional scholarships for high-achievers and children of fishermen. Despite affordable fees, classroom facilities need improvement. The college offers placement and internship opportunities, particularly in aquaculture and fish processing. Around 80% of students secure placements with an average salary package between 4 to 6 lakhs per annum.

Companies like Fresh to Home and CP Aqua participate in campus placements. Internships, facilitated through programs like RFWE and ELP, offer stipends around Rs. 45,000. Students are eligible for placements from the 5th or 7th semester, although the placement cell's effectiveness varies. Overall, the college provides feasible education costs and substantial industry exposure, but placement opportunities, especially in the public sector, remain limited.
