It was through NEET exam. I prepared for NEET exam for 2 years and gained 586 marks in 2nd attempt. The eligibility marks for BSc agriculture is 500 above I guess. The details for registration will be notified of you applied KEAM.I didn't avail any reservation benefits.
I chose this college for my post graduation because, it is the number one agriculture college in kerala. As it is the Kerala Agricultural University campus, the facilities are uncountable. The admission process is through the entrance examination conducted by the university itself. 85% of the seats are filled by the qualified top rank holders of the university entrance examination. The remaining 15% is filled by the candidates who qualified national level ICAR - JRF examination. Usually the admission for the post graduation and phD occurs during the month of August. I preferred this campus due its facilities and academic as well as research performances. Before my admission I got some information from the website www.kau.in.
School management is very good and the teachers are very friendly and mangement of the school will give all support to the students.
Overall the college is one of the finest institution for the course.
