Not really! As BFSc subjects involve fundamentals of Biochemistry (Biology and Chemistry), concentration and dedication is required while studying. However, if you love studying Fisheries Science, it'll get easier for you.

No, ICAR AIEEA is not the only entrance exam conducted by colleges for BFSc admission. There are many colleges across the country that accept CUET, MHT CET, etc. exam scores as well.

In my opinion, MFSc (Master of Fisheries Science) is the best course to pursue after BFSc. Similar to a Master's degree in other fields, the MFSc programme is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge, specialised skills, and research expertise in areas related to fisheries, aquaculture, marine biology, and related subjects.
