The BTech degree in Computer Science and Engineering is pretty different from pursuing a career in Veterinary Science. So, it will sort of be a career and educational shift. The following are the steps you may take:

• Do the Needed Coursework: Enroll in and complete the minimum required undergraduate coursework in basic sciences, like biology and chemistry, which are essential in admission to most veterinary schools.
• Get Veterinary Experience: Try to gain some veterinary work experience.
• Study for Entrance Exams: Most veterinary schools require candidates to take an entrance exam.
• Get into Veterinary School: If accepted, complete the degree. The degree would include coursework, clinical rotations, and practical experience in veterinary medicine.
• Get Licensed: After obtaining the DVM degree, you will have to get licensed by passing the Veterinary Licensing Examination in the country or state where you wish to practice.
