Apex University Jaipur B.Sc {Hons.} Agriculture: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Rajasthan JET is the primary entrance exam for B.Sc (Hons.) Agriculture admission at Apex University, as the seat matrix is governed through council (i.e., the state agricultural university council). Most seats are filled through JET merit-based counselling. However, Apex University also accepts CUET UG scores for some seats, and direct applications through the university portal are open from March 1 to September 30, 2026. Students who have not appeared for JET can contact the university admissions office to check seat availability under the direct/management quota route.

Ans. The total tuition fee for the 4-year B.Sc (Hons.) Agriculture programme at Apex University is Rs. 3,20,000 (Rs. 40,000 per semester).

However, Apex University offers a private university environment with modern infrastructure, dedicated faculty, and additional facilities. Students who secure scholarships through JET merit or CUET scores can significantly reduce their fee burden at Apex University.

The programme also opens doors to entrepreneurship in farming, organic agriculture, and agri-input businesses.
