To get admission in BSc Agriculture, you must pass 12th with science (PCB/PCM/PCA). Apply for CUET(ICAR) or state-level entrance exams. Some colleges give direct admission based on 12th marks. After selection, attend counselling and choice filling wisely then secure your seat.

Hello

PJTSAU counselling for B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture usually takes place around June to July every year. If you're applying through EAPCET, CUET, or AGRICET, keep an eye on the official PJTSAU website during this time. You'll need to carry important documents like your 10+2 marksheet, entrance exam rank card, and caste or EWS certificate if applicable. Counselling is mostly conducted offline at the university auditorium in Rajendranagar, so plan accordingly. Staying updated with the official notifications will help you secure your seat without any last-minute stress.

With a general rank of 5075 in OUAT, it is difficult to get admission in B.Tech Agriculture (Agricultural Engineering) at OUAT Bhubaneswar. In the past years, general category students who got admission in this course had ranks around 1200 to 1300. So your rank is higher than the cutoff.

OUAT gives marks by combining 50% entrance marks, 25% from class 10, and 25% from class 12. Based on this system, students with better overall scores usually get admission in B.Tech Agriculture.

With your rank, you may not get a seat in the main campus for B.Tech Agriculture. You can check for other courses like B.Sc Agriculture, Horticulture, or Home Science in other OUAT colleges where cutoff may be lower. You can also look at private or self-financed colleges that offer Agricultural Engineering.

If you belong to a reserved category, like SC, ST, or OBC, you may get a chance in counselling through category quota.

Hello Aspirant,

Hi! You are an SC female candidate with a rank of 20,733 in AP EAPCET, so you have a reasonable opportunity to secure a seat in B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture at ANGRAU, Guntur. You may be able to secure a seat, especially in the later rounds or against the special category seats. However, seating allotment is completely dependent on cut-off ranks, category reservation limits, and how many seats are available in a given year. Make sure to keep track of the official counselling time table, and attend as many rounds as possible to increase your seat acquisition.

Yes, you can do a BSc in agriculture if you had biology in your 12th. But there are still eligibility you need to meet

1. Subject Required: You must have studied physics, chemistry, and biology in your 12th standard.
2. Minimum Marks: If you say minimum, you need 50% or above in 12th boards, but some universities require 60%. If you are a reserved category student, it can be lower for you.
3. Age Limit: Your age should be a minimum of 16-17 years; it also depends on universities or states.

If you meet this requirement, you can take some state-level entrance exams, or if you don't want to take them, you can get direct admission to some private institutes.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hello,

Yes, a Telangana student who qualified in AP EAMCET can attend counselling for ANGRAU admission and apply for BSc Agriculture for the 2025-26 session.

However, admission under AP EAMCET is usually for Andhra Pradesh local candidates. Telangana students may be considered under the unreserved (non-local) category, and chances depend on seat availability and rank.

Hope it helps !
