I really dont have an idea of other states. but in TamilNadu apart from NEET, based on your 12th standard cut off marks you can join in Veterinary. Kindly check out TANUVAS website for the last year cut off details according to community.

If you have scored good cut off like generally more than 180 (minimum) you have more chances to enter into this professional course

ALL THE VERY BEST

One of the best profession that gives satisfaction

Hello Aspirant,
The Veterinary Council of India (VCI) will use the merit list of 2019 NEET for allocating 15 per cent all-India quota seats to recognised colleges for bachelor degrees.
Candidates who have qualified the 2019 NEET (National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test) and also fulfil the eligibility criteria as per the VCI's Minimum Standards of Veterinary Education Regulations, 2016 will have to register for counselling on websites www.vci.nic.in, www.aipvt.vci.nic.in, and www.dahd.nic.in, it said.
At present, there are nearly 52 veterinary colleges in India, of which, two are private-owned.
It seems NEET is compulsory here. But try to repeat one year and again prepare for NEET, you will get a good college in India itself. Or the other option is to go abroad, which will cost a lot, and moreover, when you come back to India after that, you have to align with Indian standards, and you have to give another examination for it. Hence, the best way is to repeat one year for NEET.
Good Luck!!

After 12th with physics, chemistry and biology, apply for AIPVT (ALL INDIA PRE-VETERINARY TEST), MHTCET (MAHARASHTRA CET), KEAM (KERALA), CENTAC (PONDICHERRY), GADVASU (PUNJAB, HIMACHAL), GUJCER (GUJRAT) or AICEE (ALL INDIA COMMON ENTRANCE EXAMINATION).

Aipvt fills 15% of seats of all colleges. Pondicherry has 5 reserved seats for goan students since Goa has no veterinary college.  Maharashtra has 6 veterinary colleges. Gujarat has 8 (or more). Kerala has one which has 40 seats for bachelors.

You have to stress on biology (zoology) more than physics followed by chemistry. NCERT are the only books you need, believe me! 11th-12th portion. I know after boards you hardly get like 2 months to study, but veterinary exams are easy :)

After answering these exams, your scores will go to VCI (VETERINARY COUNCIL OF INDIA) and they will call you for counselling :)

BVSc (Bachelor's of Veterinary Science) is of 5 years duration with 6 months internship included. Then you select your subject for MVSc (Masters of Veterinary Science) from Medicine, Surgery, etc. I personally always wanted to become a surgeon ♡

I will suggest you strongly to start volunteering at as many animal shelters as possible and take your yearly PRE-EXPOSURE ANTI-RABIES Vaccines :) Prevention is better than Cure, right?

And then just jump with both feet into this beautiful ocean of veterinary. It is one of the best profession which will give you more satisfaction and happiness than any other!

Good luck
