Eligibility of course is change according to various disciplines but most common is PCMB. Any student with PCM or PCMB in class 12th can take admission in Dr. PDKV through two different entrance examination that is ICAR & MHA-CET. Students need to qualify these exams with good score to take admission. Anyone can find course details on University respective sites. There is small benefits for category students during admission. Frequency of exam is within six months which includes mid, practical & sem end theory examination. Difficulty level is not so hard. Admission process is not so critical.
