B.Sc Agriculture

Unfortunately, ICAR AIEEA is the primary route for admission into central universities for B.Sc. Agriculture. CUET UG does not cover ICAR-affiliated agricultural universities. However, you may still apply to state agricultural universities or private institutions that accept direct applications or conduct their own entrance tests.

The total cost of the 4-year B.Sc. in Agriculture programme at GB Pant University in Pantnagar is approximately 1.6 lakhs. This amount covers tuition fees, admission fees, and hostel fees at the beginning of the program.

Yes, you are eligible for the ICAR AIEEA PG exam even if you're pursuing B.Sc. Agriculture from a private college, as long as:

Your college is recognised by a UGC-approved university or state agricultural university.

You meet the minimum eligibility marks: usually 60% for General/OBC and 50% for SC/ST/PwD.

You will complete your 4-year degree before the admission year.

ICAR allows both government and private college students, but the degree must be valid and recognized. So if your private college is affiliated to a recognised university, you're definitely eligible to apply.
