At my time, skuast k had its own entrance examinations, and the cut off for engineering was 55 points. I got admission in 2019 .. The admission process was quite simple and it was guided at every point. The area for improvement is that the admission process and all the things related to admission should be done at one place only, which was not the case when I got admission. I had to move from one faculty to another to complete the process.

Mainly the admission process is offline. It goes very hectic for the students to go for offline mode. Fully online mode for admission process will be beneficial for all students.
I was admitted to this University through NTA ICAR exam. As it is one of the best agricultural universities in India, you have to score at least 400+ marks out of 600 in the ICAR-UG exam to get a seat allotment. I have taken admission in this course through general rank. After the ICAR exam, you have to fill and lock choices in ICAR's official counselling website icarexam. Net and if you get decent marks, you can surely apply for this university.
Firstly, I attempted NEET and was not on the merit list to get me to any Medical college. So finally I appeared in the entrance test of Skuast and fortunately got their selection. I was on a merit list and then I went to the main campus SKUAST Srinagar for counselling. They asked me to show my 10th and 12th marks card and finally alloted me a seat in BSc Agriculture.

First, you need to appear for an entrance examination conducted by SKUAST Srinagar and need to pass the examination with valid scores for taking admission to BVSc.
