I gave cuet in 2025. I am scoring around 300-350/750. I got 210/250 in Biology. I aspire to study bsc biotechnology. Can I get admission in a decent college from a decent university? I am general category

hi,

With a CUET 2025 score of around 300–350 out of 750 overall and a strong subject score of 210 out of 250 in Biology, you do have a fair chance to get admission in BSc Biotechnology in some decent universities—especially if the university gives significant weightage to the subject-specific score.

Since you belong to the general category, admission into top-tier central universities like Delhi University (DU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), or University of Hyderabad might be slightly tough if your overall percentile is on the lower side. These universities usually have cutoffs above 500–550 for general category in popular courses like BSc Biotechnology. However, some DU colleges (especially off-campus ones) or other state universities that accept CUET scores—like Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya (Bilaspur), Central University of Punjab, Central University of Haryana, or Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University—may offer you a seat based on your biology marks and overall merit.

Your strong biology score can give you an edge if the university prioritizes domain-specific scores or if it has moderate cutoff trends. Keep an eye on the official websites of these universities and apply through the CUET UG portal when counselling opens. Also, consider applying to private universities or state-level institutions where the cutoffs might be more flexible.
