Newly introduced BTech Food Science and Technology program at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana has received an overwhelming response from admission seekers, filling all open, reserved, as well as self-financing seats in the first round of counselling. This resounding interest highlights the program's relevance and the university’s strategic initiative to address the growing demands of the food industry.
The program introduced in the College of Dairy and Food Science Technology, designed to equip students with cutting-edge knowledge in food safety, processing technologies, and innovative product development, has quickly become a top choice among students. The BTech Dairy Technology course of this college has also experienced unprecedented demand this year. Historically, the program has seen strong interest, with admissions filling up consistently. All seats were filled during the initial counselling phase, marking a significant milestone and reflecting a substantial increase in applications.
The faculty and administration at University have played a crucial role in this achievement. Proactive outreach efforts included engaging with prospective students through official channels within the Punjab School Education Board, hosting interactive sessions at the various Adarsh Schools, and organizing the visit of these students to the University. These efforts have ensured that students are well-informed about the opportunities and career prospects offered by these programs.
Furthermore, the regular recruitment drives undertaken by Punjab Dairy Development Board, Milkfed, Punjab as well as other cooperative agencies have enhanced the attractiveness of these courses. Graduates from the BTech Dairy Technology programs are well-positioned to secure rewarding positions within the public and private sectors, adding to the appeal of these degrees.
Students who were unable to secure a seat in the first round of counselling are advised to check the university's website for updates on the next round of counselling. There may be opportunities for admission if any seats become vacant due to withdrawals or other changes. Students should explore other programs such as Bachelor in Fisheries Science (B.F.Sc.) and BTech in Animal Biotechnology which are being offered by the university.
