Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, and a NEET-UG score. VCI counsels the 15% All India Quota online; states fill the remaining 85% through their own counselling, usually on NEET-UG scores.

At a glance

  • Practice needs registration with the VCI or a State Veterinary Council.
  • State animal husbandry departments run veterinary hospitals and recruit veterinary officers.
  • An M.V.Sc. (admission mostly via ICAR AIEEA-PG or state tests) is the usual way to specialise.
