As per the report that was given by State Council for Higher Education, Telangana, around 65,000 applications were received for Agriculture and Medical (Biotechnology and Pharmacy) stream.

Most of the students who completed Bi.Pc do not choose Agriculture, Horticulture and Veterinary courses, as there are fewer seats in these courses. There are only government colleges for Agriculture, Veterinary, and Horticulture courses.
On the other hand, there is more demand for MBBS and BDS courses among the students who completed Bi.Pc in Intermediate.
