BFSc is a degree course focused on the knowledge of fishery and its related disciplines. Hence, you can expect subjects like Principles of Aquaculture, Soil and Water Chemistry, Taxonomy of Shellfish, Fundamentals of Microbiology, Taxonomy of Finfish, etc., from the course curriculum. 

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. 

After completing a BFSc degree, you can explore various government job opportunities in the field of fisheries and allied sectors. Government jobs after BFSc can be found in departments and organizations that focus on fisheries management, aquaculture, research, conservation, and related areas. 

Here are some government job options for BFSc graduates:

Fisheries Science programs are not typically included in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in India. NEET is an entrance examination conducted for admission to undergraduate medical (MBBS), dental (BDS), and some other related programs in government and private medical colleges across the country. Fisheries Science programs are usually offered by Agricultural universities or specialised institutes, and the admissions process for these programs may involve separate entrance exams or direct admissions based on merit in relevant subjects.

A BFSc degree can open up various career opportunities in the field of fisheries and aquaculture. The scope of BFSc is broad and can include roles in research, management, conservation, industry, and more. 

Here are some areas where BFSc graduates can find scope and opportunities:

• Fisheries Management and Conservation
• Aquaculture
• Research and Development
• Seafood Processing and Quality Control
• Marine Conservation
• Fisheries Extension and Outreach
• Education and Academia
• International Organizations
• Government Jobs

Though it is a bit difficult to conclude an average salary for a BFSc graduate, as it depends on various factors such as specific job role, location, experience, and the organisation you work for. Still, you can expect a starting package of INR 2.7 LPA to INR 9 LPA as an Aquaculture Specialist.
