B.Sc {Hons.}, Agriculture

Reviewed on Oct 5, 2025(Enrolled 2018)

Vanavaryar Institute of Agriculture was a pure class!

Admission:

Admission was through the university counselling as very limited seats are there and therefore admission becomes tough. Our college is one of the best but sadly it was in a village so not many students show interest and therefore admission becomes easy as 80% or so is the cut-off to get admission here.

My college - TNAU

This is the top universities in Tamilnadu. 12th mark is enough for the admission in this college. The cut-off mark is about 195 for MBC Category and 197 for BC Category and 189 for SC Category. And for engineering Student the cut-off is about 178. For the other state students they need to write ICAR exam for the admission. I choose this college because of the top 1st in Tamilnadu. The college fest and cultural are more in this college than other colleges and college timing is also more than other colleges.
