No, the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) in Delhi, which is part of the ICAR system, does not offer undergraduate programs in Agriculture or Forestry directly.

With a KCET Practical Rank of 8340 and a Theory Rank of 17145 , and considering your 3A category with rural quota , your chances of getting a BSc Forestry seat in Sirsi or Ponnampet are low to moderate .

In previous years, the BSc Forestry cutoff ranks for 3A Rural Girls in Sirsi and Ponnampet colleges were usually within 2000 to 6000 (practical ranks) depending on category and availability of seats. Since your rank is 8340 , it is slightly beyond the usual cutoff range for these highly competitive colleges and courses.

• Participate in counselling and include both Sirsi and Ponnampet Forestry colleges in your options.

• Also, keep BSc Agriculture and BSc Horticulture programs in other universities as backup choices .

• Monitor counselling rounds carefully, especially the second and final rounds.

Hello Deepasri,

For the general category students under the state quota, the safest cutoff for B.Sc. Forestry at the Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University is usually between 190 to 195 out of 200. Please note that every year this could change according to reservations category, competition level, and available seats. Therefore, aiming for above 195 is the safe bet for ensuring your admission.

Hello aspirant,
