Dear student,

No, you cannot become a veterinary doctor in India without NEET or another entrance exam. Admission to the BVSc & AH course, which is essential to practice as a veterinary doctor, is mostly through NEET-UG across India—both for central and state quota seats. Some states may allow admission through their own entrance exams (like RPVT, OUAT, AAU VET ), but direct admission without any entrance exam is not valid in recognized colleges. Also, degrees from non-recognized routes are usually not accepted for government jobs or higher studies , so skipping an entrance test isn’t advisable.

Dear student,

No, you can’t become a veterinary doctor in India without qualifying NEET . Admission to the B.V.Sc & AH course in almost all government and private colleges is done through NEET only . It’s mandatory across most states and central universities as per current rules.

So if you want to pursue veterinary science, clearing NEET is essential

No, you cannot become  a veterinary doctor in India without qualifying NEET. As per the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) and most state authorities, NEET is compulsory for admission to the bachelor of Veterinary Science (B.V.Sc & AH) course  You need to clear NEET and participate in state or national counselling to get a seat in a recognized veterinary college Without NEET, you may find some diploma or paramedical animal science courses, but those do not make you a veterinary doctor. So, NEET is mandatory for pursuing veterinary medicine legally and professionally in india

Dear student,

With a NEET 2025 score of 402 in the OBC category , your chances for government B.Sc. Nursing and BVSc (Veterinary Science) seats depend heavily on your home state and how competitive the cut-offs are there.

B.Sc. Nursing

You stand a fair chance in some government colleges, especially under state quota , where OBC cut-offs often range between 350–420 marks . States with more seats and lower competition give you better odds, particularly in later counseling rounds.

BVSc (Veterinary)

BVSc cut-offs are usually higher, with OBC seats often requiring 420–480 marks . With 402, it’s slightly below average , so chances in top government colleges are low, but you might get a seat in lower-tier government or private colleges under state quota.

HELLO,

If you are not interested in PCMB at PU college so switching to a diploma in veterinary will be a good option especially if you want to grow your career in that field and want a practical job

Just make sure to check the eligibility and Apply soon

With 83 marks in AP EAPCET (BiPC group), securing a seat in veterinary (BVSc & AH) programs through state counseling in Andhra Pradesh is very unlikely, even under reserved categories. Typically, veterinary colleges require significantly higher marks for seat allocation.

dear student,

With a score of 410 marks in NEET 2025 under the OBC category and UP state quota , you have a good chance of securing a BVSc seat in a government veterinary college in Uttar Pradesh. The expected cutoff for OBC candidates generally ranges between 350–420 marks , depending on the popularity of the college. Based on last year's data (2024), the OBC cutoff for government veterinary seats in UP was around 370–410 , making your score competitive.

While there isn’t a dedicated female quota for veterinary seats in UP, being a female candidate might help in tie-breaking scenarios. Under the 85% state quota , your chances are stronger, especially in the later rounds of counselling. Make sure to register for UP state counselling and actively follow all the rounds to maximize your chances.

good luck

Dear Aspirant

With a rank of 10,971 in AP EAMCET under the BC-A category, it is important to note that you are not eligible for admission to government veterinary colleges in Andhra Pradesh through this exam. From 2023 onwards, AP EAMCET is no longer valid for veterinary admissions in the state. Instead, all admissions to Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) programs in government colleges, like SVVU Tirupati, NTR College of Veterinary Science Gannavaram, and Proddatur, are strictly based on NEET-UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) scores. This change has been made across India according to guidelines from the Veterinary Council of India (VCI). Therefore, to pursue a veterinary course in Andhra Pradesh, you must take NEET-UG and score competitively, ideally around 400 to 500 marks or more, depending on your reservation category. For BC-A candidates, the cutoff can vary each year based on seat availability and competition, but aiming for a score above 500 improves your chances of getting into a government veterinary college. If you have not taken NEET this year or wish to improve your score, you may consider preparing for the next attempt. Meanwhile, you can explore other options through AP EAMCET, such as BSc Agriculture, Horticulture, or Pharmacy, where your rank may still be useful.
