I want to do BSC (Agriculture) from Himgiri Zee University Dehradun. Is it a better choice to do it from there?
Himgiri Zee University Dehradun is a good choice only if you are planning to pursue any course in the field of agriculture from this university. Apart from agriculture, Himgiri Zee University is not well known for any other specialized courses.
- According to the majority of reviews provided by former students, the university doesn’t provide the facilities promised at the time of admission. The university is definitely not the right choice for pursuing any specialized course.
- Former students complain about the lack of coordination from the management of the university.
- The university does not offer good placements. Even the students of Mass-communication are placed in posts like content-writer or back-end jobs.
- Some of the courses at the university even have 2-3 students in total. A friend of mine did his MBA from this university and had a total of 4 classmates.
- However, the Agriculture department is good and offers decent academics.

How can I take admission in BAU for B.SC Agriculture, if I got less than 50% in intermediate?
Birsa Agricultural University (BAU) Ranchi, offers UG and PG-level courses in Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, and Forestry streams. Admission to BAU Ranchi is done on the basis of the Entrance Examination.
Students with science backgrounds in PCB can opt for any particular major from Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences, Animal Husbandry, and Forestry, while students with PCM backgrounds can apply only for agriculture and forestry. The total number of seats present for B.Sc (H) Agriculture is 50. The Institute does not mention any minimum class 12 % required for admission as the eligibility criteria simply state that the candidate should have completed class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics as compulsory subjects from a recognized board.
So, I don't think your low intermediate marks will affect your chances of admission to BAU in any way
