₹88,025 approx B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture - 4 years, 50 seats fees

JIS University

JIS University, located near Agarpara on the northern fringe of Kolkata, is genuinely one of the few BSc Agriculture options actually within the Kolkata metropolitan area (unlike BCKV, which requires relocating to Nadia district). Total course fee is reported around Rs 3.52 lakh for the 4 - year B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture programme, with an intake of 50 seats. IMPORTANT ACCREDITATION CAVEAT: the university describes its curriculum as designed per ICAR guidelines, but this is a curriculum - design claim, not confirmation that the institution itself holds formal ICAR accreditation - and per a separately sourced answer, no private West Bengal college currently holds ICAR recognition for BSc Agriculture. Given ICAR accreditation can matter significantly for eligibility toward certain government agriculture - sector jobs, applicants should independently verify the programme's current accreditation status directly with JIS University and/or ICAR before enrolling, rather than relying on marketing language alone.
