Ranchi veterinary college is govt. college under Birsamunda agriculture university,but is not approved by vci since last few years ,so if I complete my degree from here will I be eligible for upsc or other central level jobs?

Hello Pragathi,

When completing your degree in veterinary from the Ranchi Veterinary College - Birsa Agricultural University, you will become eligible for UPSC and other jobs in the central level government, even if it doesn't receive recognition from the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) at this time.

However, if you want a job which requires a VCI recognized veterinary degree, you will need VCI recognition for jobs like Central government veterinary post and higher studies in some institutions. Therefore, even though no recognition from VCI does not change your overall eligibility to enter in services like UPSC or other civil services etc., you may find limited career choices in the veterinary field without formal recognition by the VCI.

Ranchi Veterinary College, affiliated with Birsa Agricultural University, has faced VCI disapproval in recent years due to faculty shortfalls. A VCI approval is mandatory for degrees (BVSc & AH) to be considered valid for veterinary registration, clinical practice , and further studies .

Since the college has not been VCI-approved , a BVSc degree from there is not officially recognized , and therefore would not qualify you for central-level veterinary jobs or clinical veterinary registration . However, it may still allow you to:

• Sit for UPSC Central services like Animal Husbandry , Indian Forest Service (IFS) , or other government roles that do not specifically require a veterinary qualification .

• Pursue non-clinical roles such as research , academia , or extension services , subject to individual organization requirements.
