Niyati Pathak

Both TNAU and TANUVAS are relatively similar institutions because they are state-run universities. There is no major difference between the two universities in terms of their infrastructure and faculty members.

However, when compared on higher levels, then TNAU can be considered slightly better than TANUVAS, regardless of their resemblance in academic profiles.

Course Duration	4 years
Average CTC	10-12 LPA

If not, there are different other courses, with a somewhat similar backdrop, like horticulture, forestry, home science, food science, agribusiness management, and more, that require a relatively lower cutoff, as opposed to Agricultural Sciences.

Raghu Sharma

TNAU is a top-rated agricultural university and it is the oldest institute established. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) was rated amongst the top 3, followed directly by Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, New Delhi, and Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, Punjab.

The main campus of TNAU is located in AC&RI, TNAU, Coimbatore. I have a few friends from TNAU and according to them, TNAU is a university worth studying at. The classes at the institute are usually held between 7.30 P.M to 5.30 P.M. Most essentially, the exposure at the university is largely diversified as well.

Manisha Jeeva

14 Oct 21

Getting a seat in B.Sc. in Agriculture at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) is like getting a medical seat in a top university. This is due to the value and demand for agriculture seats increasing.

Having a few friends studying in TNAU Coimbatore here are a few things they mentioned.

After graduation, students opt for the banking sector or appear for the UPSC exams.
Nearly 25% of students appearing for higher administrative examinations conducted by UPSC like IAS, IPS are from the agriculture stream.
In 2020, the cut-off was around 199.5 for the general and MBC categories.
Since the preference for agriculture courses among students is increasing, this year the cut-off mark is expected to go high between 175 to 199 out of 200.
The cut-off marks also depend upon communal reservation, ICAR quota, NRI, and industrial quota, in 7 colleges that are directly attached and managed by TNAU.

In addition to these nearly 26 private agriculture colleges are there in Tamil Nadu, affiliated with TNAU, here students can get seats through counseling by TNAU and management quota where cut-off marks will not form a major role.

Jiya Patnayak

06 Oct 21

The cut-off you require mostly depends upon the course you are intending to pursue, your community (presuming your home state is Tamil Nadu itself) or ICAR exam score, and category.

On a general note, usually securing an average of about 190 or more will supposedly keep you on the safer side to help obtain admission in any course of the institute. For more information about the UG course, you can follow the official website.
