On August 18, the school officially started classes. On November 7, at a meeting commemorating the 33rd anniversary of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, the school affairs committee decided to designate this day as the founding anniversary of the school. In spring 1953, in accordance with the Ministry of Education's directive on unified naming of national secondary technical schools and the notice from the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the school was renamed 'Anhui Fengyang Agricultural School,' abbreviated as 'Fengyang Agricultural School'; the Provincial Department of Agriculture issued the school seal and embossed seal, and the school issued badges.

In 1961, the Provincial Agricultural Work Department decided to make major adjustments to agricultural colleges across the province; among the eight newly established agricultural colleges (Hefei Agricultural College, Anhui Agricultural College, Anhui Aquatic Products College, Su County Agricultural College, Tunxi Tea College, Wuhu Agricultural College), seven were merged, leaving only Anhui Fengyang Agricultural College.
