Entry Criteria for the B.sc. Forestry entrance examination 2016

The students from science stream (10+2 science group, I.Sc., TCL in Forestry, Diploma in
Forestry, 10+2 Science, I.Sc. Forestry (TCL in Forestry & Diploma in Forestry), A-level w/science
group and Equivalent) are eligible for applying for admission in Bachelors of Science in Forestry.
However, they must have secured a minimum of 45% marks in aggregate in certificate level
examination or equivalent. All interested students must appear in the entrance examination
and are selected based on their merit score.
