According to the latest NEET exam pattern , the Botany and Zoology sections are still separate within the Biology section, but combined to form a total of 90 questions in the Biology section, with 45 questions each from Botany and Zoology. l

Although considered one "Biology" section, the NEET exam still presents questions distinctly categorized as Botany and Zoology.

Both Botany and Zoology usually have an equal number of questions (45 each) within the Biology section.

The current NEET exam pattern maintains this structure with separate Botany and Zoology sections within the Biology subject.

Hi,

After completing Bachelor of Science in Botany you can either opt for higher studies or can get a job depending upon your interest.

Hello Anu,

Yes, you can apply for both the NIMCET (National Institutes of Technology MCA Common Entrance Test) and OJEE MCA (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination for MCA) exams, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. NIMCET:

   • You must have a BSc degree (with Mathematics as a compulsory subject at 10+2 level).
     
     
   • You should have completed your BSc with at least 60% marks (55% for SC/ST) or an equivalent CGPA.
     
     

2. OJEE MCA:

   • For OJEE, you need to have a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline with Mathematics as one of the subjects at 10+2 or graduation level.
     
     
   • You should have scored at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ST).

Since you passed 12th with Mathematics and are pursuing BSc (Botany Hons.) , you meet the basic criteria for both exams, provided you satisfy the other academic requirements.

Make sure to check the specific eligibility guidelines on the official websites for each exam before applying.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hi Pratham,

Hope you're doing good. based on your provided profile:

• Academic Background:
  • 10th Grade: 9 CGPA (CBSE)
  • 12th Grade: 65.7% (Punjab Board)
  • Bachelor's Degree: 65.2% in B.Sc. Botany (Punjab Agricultural University)
• Work Experience: 34 months

IMA's FABM program is highly competitive. For the General category, the CAT cutoff percentiles for 2024 were:

• Overall: 99%ile
• Sectional (VARC, DILR, QA): 99%ile each

Given your CAT percentile of 92.4, it falls below these thresholds, making it unlikely to secure a shortlist for the FABM program at IIMA.

IIML's ABM program also has stringent selection criteria. The minimum CAT percentiles for shortlisting General category candidates are:

• Overall: 85%ile
• Sectional (VARC, DILR, QA): 80%ile each

Your CAT percentile meets these minimum requirements. However, IIML evaluates candidates based on multiple factors, including academic performance, work experience, and diversity.

While your work experience is substantial , the ABM program places significant emphasis on academic performance and relevant background.

Admission criteria vary across institutions. Some newer IIMs and IITs may have lower CAT cutoffs and different evaluation parameters. Your work experience is a positive aspect, and certain programs might value it alongside your CAT score.

You can also check out the IIM's previous year Cutoffs on the given link.

All the best!

Hello,

Based on the details you provided, here is an assessment:

1. IIMs (General Category) :

   • IIMA (FABM) : Your 92.4%ile in CAT is competitive, but for IIMA FABM, which focuses on agricultural business management, your BSc. Botany background might help, though the cutoff for FABM is typically around 95-96%ile. However, if you have strong academic performance in other areas (work ex, 10th/12th), there might be a chance for shortlisting in the interview round.
   • IIML (ABM) : With your work experience and background, IIM Lucknow's ABM program (Agriculture Business Management) could be a strong option, as the cutoff for this program is generally around 90-92%ile, and your CAT score is close to this threshold.

2. IITs :

   • You may have a better shot in IITs like IIT Kharagpur (for MBA in Agri-Business), as their cutoff is typically lower than IIMs, especially with work experience.

3. Improvement Areas :

   • Focus on your CAT score improvement or interview prep to bolster your chances further.

Hope it helps !
