Veterinary Science

Yes, Veterinary graduates have multiple opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in veterinary drug development, research, and quality control. They contribute to formulating vaccines, medicines, and nutritional supplements for animals.

They can work as Veterinary Pharmacologists, Medical Representatives, Clinical Researchers, or Regulatory Affairs Officers. Major pharmaceutical companies, animal health firms, and research labs hire Veterinary professionals for drug testing and development.

BVSc graduates can work in animal husbandry by joining government departments, livestock farms, or dairy industries. They play a crucial role in animal health management, breeding, and nutrition.

They can work as Livestock Development Officers, Animal Husbandry Extension Officers, or Consultants helping farmers improve productivity. Many BVSc graduates also start their own dairy farms, poultry farms, or engage in animal feed production businesses.

The Veterinary Council of India (VCI) exam refers to the All India Pre-Veterinary Test (AIPVT), now replaced by NEET-UG for BVSc admission. However, VCI conducts licensing and registration processes for veterinary graduates.

For foreign Veterinary graduates, the VCI conducts a qualifying exam to assess their knowledge before allowing them to practice in India. Registration with VCI is essential for legal Veterinary practice across the country.

Yes, obtaining a license is mandatory to practice Veterinary Medicine in India. Graduates must register with the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) or the respective State Veterinary Council (SVC) to get a valid license.

The registration ensures that the veterinarian meets the required ethical and professional standards. Without a license, individuals cannot legally diagnose, treat animals, or establish a veterinary practice in India.

Yes, BVSc graduates can pursue PhD programs in Veterinary Science and related fields. To be eligible, they typically need to complete a Master's degree (MVSc) in a specialised area such as Veterinary Pathology, Animal Genetics, or Veterinary Surgery.

Some universities may allow direct admission to PhD programs after BVSc with exceptional academic records. PhD programs focus on research, innovation, and specialization, leading to careers in academia, research institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry.

No colleges accept 168 marks in NEET for veterinary Science admission because the required marks vary from year to year and by category.
