Hello Aspirant,

If you are opting for Biotechnology, each university has its own advantages:

• BMSCE and MSRIT are well established universities with good faculty, decent placement history (certainly very respectable relative to emerging colleges) and alumni network/community. Programme is stable now and processes are well established, however, they would be using old ways of teaching and probably the infrastructure will be old too.
• Chanakya University is new and backed by Biocon and designed under NEP framework (looks good). Syllabus looks strong, especially with practical lab work, exposure to research(PhD), and inter-disciplinary consumption of subject and knowledge. However, students will probably be first year batch so will have to deal with uncertainty due to execution, placements and faculty stability.

Yes, you can appear for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test for U.S./Canada) even after B.Tech in Biotechnology from India. However, note:

MCAT is primarily for entry into medical schools abroad.

You’ll still need prerequisite coursework and apply through recognized medical schools.

To pursue medicine in India, you’ll need to appear for NEET instead.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can get a seat in M.Sc. Biotechnology through TG PGECET even though your B.Sc. Biotechnology background is valid. With the 14th rank, you have great chance of getting M.Sc. Biotechnology admission in top universities or colleges in Telangana. Attend the counselling process and have your documents ready.

Hello aspirant,

Both ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery) and GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) are nursing diploma programs; however, GNM provides more advanced training and a wider range of practice than ANM.  While ANM graduates usually work in primary care or community health settings, GNM graduates can work as registered nurses in hospitals.  The "better" course ultimately comes down to personal preferences and career ambitions.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

For Diploma level program in Biotechnology you go for these prestigious government colleges in Kerala:
- Central Polytechnic College, Vattiyoorkavu
- Government Polytechnic, Koratty
- Government Polytechnic, Kothamangalam
- Maharaja's Technological Institute
- Government Polytechnic College, Adoor

Now, for diploma in Biomedical engineering you can check out these colleges:
- K. Karunakaran Memorial Model Polytechnic College, Mala [Thissur]
- E.K. Nayanar Memorial Model Polytechnic College, Kalliasseri [Kannur]
- Model Polytechnic College, Vadakara [Kozhikode]
- Model Polytechnic College, Painavu [Idukki]

Some important steps to follow before applying for courses:
- check the eligibility criteria regarding age, academics, or performance.
- Apply only through official website of colleges
- some colleges conduct entrance exams, check those too.

Good afternoon, you do not need to take a separate CET conducted by MJ College for admission into B.Sc. Biotechnology.

If you're applying through Maharashtra CAP rounds, then having a valid MHT CET score helps.

Otherwise, for merit based admission, your 12th PCB marks are sufficient.

Hey, Since you are from a PCB background and wrote AP EAPCET, you can get into B.Tech Biotechnology through BiPC stream counselling, not MPC. Andhra University does offer B.Tech Biotechnology, and the seat allotment is done under BiPC counselling. With a 13k rank, getting a seat in Andhra University for general category might be a bit tough because the cut off for AU usually closes at a much lower rank, especially for open category. But you can still try in the later rounds or look for other good colleges that offer biotech. About the classes, once counselling is done, most colleges usually start by August end or early September. Keep checking the AP EAPCET counselling schedule for updates. All the best!

That's a very specific and important question to ask during the CSAB special rounds. The discrepancy between what you see on the choice-filling portal and the official PDF document is a common point of confusion for many students.

Here's the most accurate way to understand this situation:

The information displayed on the online choice-filling portal is generally considered the most up-to-date and authoritative source for seat availability during the counseling process. While the PDF documents released by CSAB are helpful for reference and as a general guide, the live data on the portal reflects the real-time status of vacant seats.

Therefore, if NIT Agartala's Biotechnology branch is showing up as a choice available in your portal, it means there are indeed vacant seats for you to fill for that particular branch and category.

There could be several reasons for this kind of discrepancy:

• Real-time updates: The online portal is dynamically updated. As students surrender their seats, withdraw from the process, or have their seat allocations canceled for various reasons, those seats become vacant and are immediately added to the available choices for the subsequent rounds. The PDF documents, on the other hand, are static. They are published at a specific point in time and might not reflect the most recent changes.

• Tentative nature of PDFs: The PDF for vacant seats is often released as a "tentative seat vacancy." The document itself might even state that candidates can fill choices that are not listed in the table, further reinforcing that the online portal is the primary source of truth.

• Category-specific vacancies: The PDF might show a general overview, while the online portal will show the specific seats available to you based on your category (e.g., General, OBC, SC, ST) and other criteria like state quota. A seat might be vacant in a category that wasn't mentioned in the general PDF but is open for you to apply for.

My recommendation is to trust the online choice-filling portal. If you see NIT Agartala's Biotechnology as an option, you should definitely consider adding it to your list of preferences if you are interested in that branch and college. The goal of CSAB special rounds is to fill all the remaining seats, and the online system is designed to facilitate this by showing all possible options to eligible candidates.

Hey Jatin:)

Thanks for reaching out!

If biotechnology at NIT Agartala is showing in the CSAB choice filling portal,it means you can select it but that doesn't always means seats are available. CSAB portal shows all branches including those with zero vacancies. However,since this branch is not listed in the PDF released by CSAB it likely means there are no vacant seats right now.

CSAB still allows you to fill such choices so that if a seat becomes available later due to someone withdrawing or reshuffling,you can still be considered for it.

Note: It's advisable to include such options but make sure to keep branches with confirmed availability higher in your list incase no vacancy opens up later.

Hope this clears your query!
