• Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (government) offers a well-regarded B.Tech in Biotechnology via AP EAMCET
• GITAM Institute of Technology, Visakhapatnam (private) also provides B.Tech Biotechnology through AP EAMCET and its own GAT exam, with moderate fee levels
• Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU), Guntur offers the same course via AP EAMCET alongside other exams like JEE Main

Other institutes include Al-Ameer College of Engineering & IT, Visakhapatnam, Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology (GIET), RVR & JC College of Engineering, and Vignan’s Engineering College, all offering AP EAMCET-based admissions for Biotechnology .

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

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.

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!

good afternoon, for admission to BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) in India, the NEET UG exam is the primary and mandatory entrance test for most colleges  both government and private.

NEET UG is conducted by NTA and is the only accepted exam for BAMS admission under the Ministry of AYUSH guidelines2.

Admission is granted through central (AACCC) and state-level counseling based on NEET scores.

No other national-level exam is accepted for BAMS in regular colleges.

A few deemed universities or minority institutions may offer BAMS seats without NEET, often through management quota or direct admission, but these are limited and not widely recognized.

Some state-level entrance exams (like CETs) used to exist but have largely been phased out in favor of NEET.
