Every year, thousands of Biology-Physics-Chemistry (BiPC) students who write AP EAPCET<\/strong> look beyond MBBS and B.Sc. Agriculture for career paths that combine science with fieldwork. One course that has been quietly gaining traction is B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry<\/strong>, offered by Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University (YSRHU)<\/strong>, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari District, alongside its flagship Horticulture programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forestry is drawing growing interest from BiPC candidates because India’s forest and environment sector is expanding rapidly – driven by afforestation missions, climate-change mitigation targets, wildlife and biodiversity conservation programmes, and a steady stream of Forest Department recruitment across states. It offers a distinct, fieldwork-heavy science career path that few other BiPC-linked courses provide in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n

A clear caution up front:<\/strong> As of the notification date (24-07-2026), YSRHU has not yet released a day-wise counselling schedule<\/strong>. The university has explicitly stated that all further details, including counselling dates, will be published only on its own website.

Latest AP B.Sc. Forestry 2026 Admission Process & Counselling Status <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This section reflects only what the official 24-07-2026 notification confirms<\/strong>, plus honest flagging of what remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the notification confirms<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The notification lists four admission categories under the combined Horticulture\/Forestry notice; Forestry is explicitly named in one of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#<\/th>Category<\/th>Basis of Selection<\/th>Application Mode<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1<\/td>B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture<\/td>AP EAPCET 2026 Ranks under Bi.P.C. stream<\/td>Online registration<\/td><\/tr>
2<\/td>B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry<\/strong><\/td>AP EAPCET 2026 Ranks under Bi.P.C. stream<\/strong><\/td>Online registration<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

4<\/td>B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture \u2013 Industry Sponsorship Quota<\/td>Intermediate marks<\/td>Offline application<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Important clarification:<\/strong> Categories 3 and 4 (NRI\/NRI-sponsored and Industry Sponsorship quotas) are explicitly labelled “B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture”<\/strong> in the notification – Forestry is not named under these two quota categories. Candidates interested in Forestry through an NRI or industry-sponsored route should confirm directly with the university whether these quotas extend to Forestry seats as well, since the short notification text does not clarify this either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is NOT yet confirmed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • No counselling date-wise schedule<\/strong> has been released for Forestry as of 24-07-2026. The notification states: “All the details and updates including counselling dates will be displayed in the University website only. There is no issuance of personal communications.”<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The exact counselling mechanism is not spelled out.<\/strong> Based on how YSRHU has run this process in recent past cycles (2025-26), admissions have historically involved a YSRHU-run online registration and allotment system<\/strong>, followed by in-person “manual counselling” rounds<\/strong> conducted directly at the university’s own Admn. Office in Venkataramannagudem – rather than the centralized AP EAPCET web-counselling portal used for Engineering\/Pharmacy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Seat numbers for 2026-27 are not in the notification itself.<\/strong> For reference, in the AY 2025-26 cycle, B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry was reported to have 60 seats<\/strong>, with an additional 10% supernumerary seats allocated under the EWS category<\/strong> – these figures must be reconfirmed for 2026-27 from the current information brochure, as they can change year to year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What is B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry is a four-year, ICAR-pattern undergraduate honours programme<\/strong> that trains students in the science and management of forests, plantations, wildlife habitats, and natural resources. Unlike Horticulture, which centres on cultivated fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops, Forestry focuses on forest ecosystems, silviculture, wildlife conservation, forest products, and environmental management<\/strong> – making it attractive to BiPC students drawn to conservation and outdoor fieldwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key structural features of the course:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Duration:<\/strong> 4 years, split into 8 semesters, following the ICAR Deans’ Committee credit framework used across State Agricultural\/Horticultural Universities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Practical learning:<\/strong> Substantial fieldwork in forest nurseries, plantations, and research\/demonstration forest areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Field visits:<\/strong> Visits to forest divisions, wildlife sanctuaries, and forest research institutes as part of the curriculum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Research exposure:<\/strong> Final-year students undertake project work and experiential learning under faculty guidance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Core subject clusters:<\/strong> Silviculture, Forest Mensuration, Forest Ecology, Wildlife Science, Forest Products & Utilisation, and Agroforestry, alongside general science and natural-resource management subjects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Admission Process (Step-by-Step)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Route: AP EAPCET Rank-Based Admission<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Qualify AP EAPCET 2026 (BiPC stream)
      \u2193
      Wait for YSRHU’s counselling schedule\/registration link (to be published on drysrhu.ap.gov.in)
      \u2193
      Complete Online Registration on the notified portal
      \u2193
      Certificate Verification (mode to be notified)
      \u2193
      Option Entry \/ College Preference (mode to be notified – online option entry and\/or in-person manual counselling, as per past practice)
      \u2193
      Seat Allotment
      \u2193
      Reporting at Allotted College<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Note on NRI\/Industry Sponsorship routes:<\/strong> As noted above, these two quota categories are explicitly named for Horticulture in the current notification. If YSRHU extends similar offline, marks-based quota routes to Forestry, this would be confirmed only in the information brochure – candidates should check this directly on drysrhu.ap.gov.in rather than assume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Since B.Sc. Forestry is a comparatively newer and smaller-intake programme than Horticulture at YSRHU, candidates are advised to directly ask the university or affiliated college for placement statistics from recent batches rather than relying on generic estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Important Note<\/strong> – Any revisions in reservation percentages or special category quotas will be notified by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Dr. YSRHU before the commencement of counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        The reservation policy is implemented as per the latest Government of Andhra Pradesh<\/strong> and Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University<\/strong> admission guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Horizontal reservations<\/strong> (Women, CAP, NCC, Sports, PwD) are applied within the respective vertical reservation categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Since B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry has only 60 seats<\/strong>, category-wise allotment may vary slightly due to roster implementation while still complying with Government reservation norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                        1. Has YSRHU released the AP B.Sc. Forestry 2026 admission notification?<\/strong>
                                        Yes. YSRHU released Admission Notification Ref. No. 3321792\/Admissions\/2026 on 24-07-2026, inviting applications for B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry and B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture for AY 2026-27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        2. Is NEET required for B.Sc. Forestry?<\/strong>
                                        No. AP EAPCET with a BiPC background is the applicable route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        3. Has the counselling schedule (dates) been released?<\/strong>
                                        No. As of the notification date, YSRHU has stated that counselling dates and all further updates will be displayed only on drysrhu.ap.gov.in, with no personal communication sent to candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        4. Are NRI and Industry Sponsorship quotas available for Forestry too?<\/strong>
                                        Not clearly. The 2026 notification explicitly names these two quotas under “B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture” only. Candidates interested in these routes for Forestry should confirm directly with YSRHU or check the information brochure, since this is not spelled out either way in the notification text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        5. Does AP B.Sc. Forestry counselling happen through cap.apcfss.in (the same portal as B.Tech\/Pharmacy)?<\/strong>
                                        This is not confirmed for 2026. In past cycles, YSRHU has run its own registration and, at least for some phases, its own in-person manual counselling at its Admn. Office in Venkataramannagudem, separate from the centralized EAPCET web-counselling portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        This depends on the (as yet unreleased) counselling schedule for the EAPCET-rank category \u2014 check drysrhu.ap.gov.in directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        14. Is the YSRHU B.Sc. Forestry degree recognised?<\/strong>
