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!

Hi Yash!

First of all, you’ve got good scores in both NEET and MHT CET, and your SC category definitely gives you a stronger position in the admissions process. COEP is one of the top-tier engineering colleges in Maharashtra, and it mainly considers MHT CET scores for BTech programs like Biotechnology. With 86.82 percentile in PCB, you stand a chance, but PCB group students generally face more competition because most engineering seats are filled via PCM group. You could still try for COEP, especially if the cutoff drops a bit. Make sure to apply to other state-run biotech colleges too as a backup.

Hello,

Yes, with a score of 434 out of 750 in CUET and OBC category, you have chances to get B.Sc. Biotechnology in some central universities.

You can try for Central University of Rajasthan and Central University of Tamil Nadu. Both these universities offer B.Sc. or Integrated B.Sc. Biotechnology courses and their previous OBC cut-offs were lower than your score.

You should apply through CUET counselling portal and fill these choices.

Hope it helps !

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.

Hello Aspirant,

Thanks for reaching out!

To get admission in B.tech biotechnology through MHT CET (Pcb group),you must have atleast 50% in 12th(for general category)or 45% for reserved categories from Maharashtra.While cut-offs vary by college and category ,

You should score 120-140 out of 200 to get into top institutes.If you are targeting average private colleges 80-100 marks is usually enough

Higher marks improve your chances of getting into good government or private colleges in Maharashtra.

All the best!
