Hi dear candidate,

You can have numerous options for fishery jobs with fish farming, research and development in gulf countries, China, Japan and Norway which is one of the largest seafood markets. The visa process among all is easier in Japan for Indian citizens but you might need to learn Japanese as English might NOT be enough.

Make sure you also have done fishery course and if not know more at:

Hello,

Sorry, but specific highest package figures for fisheries colleges are not widely available, but top employers and opportunities are in areas like aquaculture, marine biotechnology, and seafood industries, with average salaries for BFSc graduates ranging from INR 3-6 LPA.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Right now, there are no new vacancies announced for fisheries-related jobs in Rajasthan. The last recruitment for Assistant Fisheries Development Officer (AFDO) was in 2024, and the exam results are expected soon.

New vacancies are usually announced by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and the Rajasthan Fisheries Department. You should regularly check their official websites for the latest notifications.

Hi Rashi,

If you're interested in pursuing a career in fisheries after your 10th grade, here’s a clear path to guide you:

Step 1: Choose the Right Subject in Class 11th and 12th

• Opt for the Science stream with Biology as a core subject.
• Recommended subject combination:
  • PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) : Essential for courses related to fisheries.
  • If possible, include Mathematics (PCMB) to keep more career options open.

2. Focus on Entrance Exams:

After completing 12th with PCB, you'll need to appear for entrance exams to get into fisheries courses:

• ICAR AIEEA (All India Entrance Examination for Admission): Conducted by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research for admission to fisheries science and other agricultural courses.
• State-Level Entrance Exams: Many states conduct their own exams for fisheries courses. For example, Andhra Pradesh has AP EAMCET.

3. Courses After 12th :

• Pursue a Bachelor’s in Fisheries Science (B.F.Sc) , a 4-year undergraduate program.

Some Colleges offering BFSc in India :

• Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE), Mumbai
• Tamil Nadu Dr. J. Jayalalithaa Fisheries University
• Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies
• College of Fishery Science, Muthukur (Andhra Pradesh)

By choosing PCB in 11th and focusing on entrance exams like ICAR AIEEA or state-specific exams, you’ll be well-prepared to enter the field of fisheries science. You can check out the given link for moee detaisl or guidance!

All the best!

Hey there! Welcome to the Careers360 Forum! Always cool to have fresh faces around here.

So, you scored an 8.5k rank in EAPCET , not too shabby at all, especially in the BC category. Congrats on that!

Now, about fisheries... that's an interesting choice! It's not the most common pick, which could work in your favor. With that rank, you've got a decent shot, I'd say. But you know how these things go - it can depend on a bunch of factors like the number of seats, how many folks are gunning for it this year, and all that jazz.

Tell you what, why don't we dig into this a bit more? We could pull up the cut-off ranks from last year for fisheries programs - that'll give us a better idea of where you stand. I think we've got that data somewhere in our systems.

Also, have you got any specific colleges in mind for fisheries? Or are you open to options? Knowing that could help us narrow things down.

Oh, and just curious - what got you interested in fisheries? Always fun to hear what draws people to different fields.

Let me know what you think, and we can start crunching some numbers to see where you might land. It'll be good practice for both of us, right?
