Placements (average ₹): —

Placements (maximum ₹): Private (JIS Group; university est. 2014/2015) | NAAC accredited | ACCREDITATION CAVEAT: the university's own marketing describes this programme as 'designed as per ICAR guidelines' and 'aligned with the ICAR Vth Deans' Committee Report' - this is curriculum alignment, NOT confirmation of formal ICAR institutional accreditation. Per an independent sourced answer, there are currently no ICAR - recognised private BSc Agriculture colleges in West Bengal.

Ownership / mode: <p>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.</p>
