We have an exam called the MCAER Maharashtra Council of agriculture education and research pg Common Entrance test. After the test, we go get admissions. I don't think any improvement but caste reservation should be removed.
For BSc agriculture, there is the MHT CET exam which is held at the state level, and the national level ICAR exam. You can find the application form on the mhtcet official site. If you are having agricultural land then you'll get an extra 12% which is added to your mhtcet .
