In 1949, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the College of Agriculture of the former private Jinling University was renamed as the College of Agriculture of the public Jinling University, and the College of Agriculture of the former National Central University was renamed as the College of Agriculture of the National University of Nanjing. Wheat genetic breeding experts Jin Shanbao became the first chairman. In 1960s, the college was identified by the State Council as one of the country's two key agricultural colleges and universities.{{cite book | title=南京农业大学史 (1902-2004) | publisher=中国农业科学技术出版社 | year=2004 | isbn=978-7-80167-688-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lpoqAAAACAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-06-20 | page=}} In 1972 January, the school moved to Yangzhou, and the then north of Jiangsu Agricultural College merged with the establishment of Jiangsu Agricultural College.
