Understanding the BVSc & AH Curriculum: A Comprehensive Guide
The Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) degree is a rigorous five-and-a-half-year professional program. In India, the curriculum is strictly regulated by the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) under the Minimum Standards of Veterinary Education (MSVE) guidelines. Staying updated with the latest syllabus is essential for students to ensure they are covering all mandatory competencies required for modern veterinary practice.
Pre-Clinical Phase
Focuses on the biological foundations including Veterinary Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry. This phase builds the structural understanding of domestic animals.
Para-Clinical Phase
Covers agents of disease and diagnosis. Key subjects include Pathology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Pharmacology, and Animal Nutrition.
Clinical Phase
The application of knowledge in Surgery, Medicine, and Gynaecology. This phase also includes the vital Internship year for hands-on hospital practice.
At Vets Duo, we provide the most recent version of the VCI syllabus to help students plan their academic roadmap. Understanding the credit hour system and the weightage of each subject is key to prioritizing study time for university professional exams and future competitive tests like the ICAR-PG Entrance Exam.
