Students who have passed their Class 12 in the Arts stream cannot apply for Horticulture courses however, students who have earned their Class 12 in the Commerce stream can apply for Agriculture courses in very limited cases.

The capacity of a candidate to pursue Agricultural studies after the 12th grade is determined by their final test result in merit-based admission. When using entry-level admissions, students must achieve high marks in both their 12th grade and the entrance exam. Students must first complete the qualifying prerequisites before applying for admission to Agriculture programs.

Botany is the study of the Anatomy and Chemical activities of plants. Horticultural Science is the study, research, and practice of plant cultivation, propagation, breeding, crop production, and plant physiology.
