Top colleges and what it takes
B.V.Sc & A.H. admits on the NEET-UG rank. The Veterinary Council of India (VCI) fills the 15% All-India Quota seats through its own online counselling, and state veterinary universities fill the rest from their own state merit lists (home-state students often get in at much later ranks). VCI does not publish a consolidated college-wise table, so the 2025 figures below are portal figures (approx).
