Ques. What was the cutoff for BVSc in LUVAS Hisar?

● Top Answer By Bhumi Sen on 16 Oct 21

Ans. The cut-off marks of any institute vary every year and you can not rely on the previous year data. It is calculated based on the number of students that appear for the exam. It varies for students from the general category or reserved one.  If you belong to the general category you might want to work a little harder to make it to the list of students eligible for admission.  In 2019, there were 34 seats for general category students, and the next year, it got reduced to just 26. As the exam carries 200 marks, so roughly we can estimate that the cut-off might be around 165 for the general category.  You can utilize the time in preparing precisely and solve some papers too. Revising the topics more and more will get you accustomed to the question pattern.Read more

Ques. What is the expected cutoff of BVSC from LUVAS through the NEET 2021 with the state quota?

● Top Answer By Akansha Yadav on 16 Oct 21

Ans. The cut-off in LUVAS varies every year depending on the number of students who appear for the exam.  Before 2020, there used to be a separate exam on the state level for getting into LUVAS but that is not the case now.  The only marks that matter is your NEET marks. Make sure to score well in it.  Roughly, based on 2019 and 2020, the cut-off marks may fall somewhere around 520. Hence, it will be better if you prepare thoroughly and stay on the safer side by scoring above 500.  It always gets a little challenging for the general category as the cut-off goes higher than for the reserved category. It is smart to plan your study on the same lines.Read more

Ques. My native place is Tamil Nadu and I have registered NEET under the Tamil Nadu State quota but I did my schooling and boards in Kerala(CBSE). What should I do to get admission in TANUVAS for BVSc?

● Top Answer By Bidita Ghose on 15 Dec 23

Ans. State quota seats in government veterinary colleges are much higher (85%) than All India quota seats (15%). So as visible, getting in through state quota is much easier.  The government veterinary colleges of Tamil Nadu fill state quota seats through 12th merit, and All India quota seats through NEET scores. Regardless of which state you received your schooling in, if your parents belong to the state of Tamil Nadu, you can get the certificate of Tamil Nadu and apply for TANUVAS through state quota. Read more
