Agriculture colleges in India can be broadly classified into two types – Government colleges and private colleges.
As the name suggests, Government agriculture colleges are owned and managed by the relevant departments of the State or Central Government. On the other hand, private colleges are owned and managed by private educational and/or charitable trusts.
Govt agriculture colleges charge relatively low tuition fees. These colleges provide subsidized education to students.
Due to private ownership, private colleges are known to charge relatively higher tuition fees. This is the main reason why students prefer Government colleges over private ones.
Let us take a closer look at the admission process. Here is everything you need to know about it –
Admission process
Reputed institutes rely on merit-based admission processes. Under the merit-based admission process, seats are distributed among deserving candidates on the basis of their performance in the relevant entrance test. Yes, entrance tests are used to facilitate the merit-based admission process.
But admission process may vary from one college to another. Govt colleges strictly follow a merit-based admission process. On the other hand, some private colleges are known to conduct direct and donation-based admission processes. The direct admission process is usually carried out when a college has access to a large number of vacant seats.
