Admission:

I applied for agriculture and veterinary after completing NEET. I got into agriculture and veterinary at the same time.I chose veterinary because its a better option. I applied for veterinary colleges in mumbai but couldnt get into because of the allotment criteria of VCI which im not very sure of. In my college state quota admission is based on 12th marks and vci quota based on NEET marks. You need an all india rank of atkeast 61k to get into veterinary if you are from general category. TANUVAS os the best University for veterinary.
