LUVAS Admission Process
Admission to LUVAS is strictly entrance-exam-driven. No management quota or direct admission is available for BVSc and AH.
BVSc and AH Admission
BVSc and AH is the flagship programme at LUVAS and is the most competitive. Admission is entirely merit-based through NEET UG.
- Eligibility: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB), minimum 50% aggregate for general category (40% for SC/ST)
- Entrance: NEET UG score is the sole basis for admission
- Selection process: Haryana state counselling authority allocates seats based on NEET UG rank; state quota and All India 15% quota are filled separately
- Cutoff context: NEET UG closing rank for the general category at LUVAS BVSc has historically ranged from 50,000 to 1,50,000 (AIR) depending on category and quota, with state quota closing ranks lower than AIQ
B.Tech Dairy Technology Admission
B.Tech Dairy Technology admission is through ICAR-AIEEA UG, the national entrance exam for agriculture and allied university programmes managed by the National Testing Agency. Candidates who qualify in ICAR-AIEEA UG are counselled for seats under ICAR’s free seat scheme as well as self-financing seats at LUVAS.
MVSc and Ph.D Admission
MVSc admissions are through ICAR-AIEEA PG or ICAR-JRF, with candidates qualifying in the relevant subject appearing for counselling. Ph.D admissions require ICAR-JRF or SRF fellowship or the LUVAS research entrance test, with MVSc or M.Tech as the minimum qualification. GATE is accepted for M.Tech Dairy Technology in lieu of ICAR examination.
LUVAS Placements and Career Outcomes
BVSc and AH graduates from LUVAS pursue careers across government veterinary services, the armed forces, public sector undertakings, and private industry. Campus placement in the conventional sense applies primarily to B.Tech Dairy Technology and a subset of BVSc graduates hired by private sector companies.
As per NIRF 2025 data, 23 of 35 PG graduates placed in 2024 recorded a median salary of INR 12 LPA. UG graduates (5-year programmes) recorded a campus placement rate of approximately 21.5% at a median salary of INR 7.2 LPA. The low UG placement rate is structural: a large share of BVSc graduates pursue MVSc immediately after graduation, join government services through HPSC or UPSC, or establish private veterinary practice.

LUVAS vs GADVASU vs RAJUVAS
Aspirants shortlisted for veterinary university admissions in North India often compare LUVAS with Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) in Ludhiana, Punjab, and Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (RAJUVAS) in Bikaner. All three are state-funded veterinary universities established within a decade of each other.

LUVAS leads the three on NIRF Agriculture and Allied ranking. GADVASU, established five years earlier in 2005, has a slightly longer institutional track record and is in the heart of Punjab’s dairy and agriculture economy. RAJUVAS in Bikaner is geographically closest to Rajasthan students and has strong links with camel, sheep, and goat research given the state’s pastoral farming base. Candidates from Haryana would typically prefer LUVAS for state quota reservation advantages.
