At OUAT, few seats are reserved as free seats and few are reserved as cost-sharing seats. For free seats, the fees are less. For cost-sharing seats, you will need to pay the additional cost for that seat. For cost-sharing fees, you will need to pay your readmission fees every year. So, students getting admission in cost-sharing fees, need to pay more fees compared to the ones with free seats. The admission to these seats is based entirely on merit.

OUAT is not a college, it is a university. It has many colleges affiliated with it. So, the placement opportunities vary from one institution to another. For Agricultural courses, like BSc AG, MSc AG, and AG Tech there are good placement opportunities. Foresty Colleges also offer good placements.

However, for self-finance courses like MCA, Agri-Business Management, Bio-Informatics in OUAT, you may have to struggle a bit to get placements.

Should I go for coaching and drop 1 year after 12th to crack the OUAT entrance exam?

By Yashveer Singhon 22 Dec 21

That depends entirely on the candidate. It is recommended that you prepare for your 12th exam along with other entrance exams. Try joining coaching centres that will properly guide you with subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology.

Because it is not justified to take coaching only for getting into OUAT, as to qualify you will require to be thorough with your concepts, quantitative aptitude and learn about basics of the science subjects.

If you work hard enough, dedicating most of your time in the preparation of the exam, you will be able to sit for any entrance exam and score good marks.

If you are interested in agriculture, there are 2 ways you can join OUAT. One through OUAT entrance exam and 2nd by ICAR entrance exam.
