Hello,

If you are a student in the PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) stream and wish to pursue Biotechnology, you usually must take entrance exams such as CUET (Common University Entrance Test) and NEET (although not always required for B.Sc. Biotech), or regional university admission exams based on the institution you aim for.

In engineering-oriented biotech programs such as B.Tech in Biotechnology, certain institutions might consider JEE Main, but the majority of colleges providing B.Sc. in Biotechnology typically depend on merit (board scores) or administer their own entrance tests. Your Class 12 board percentage is important, particularly if you're seeking admission to colleges that admit students based on merit (e.g., Delhi University, Mumbai University).

Typically, a score between 70–80% or higher in PCB subjects is viewed as competitive, although elite institutions might demand even greater scores. To enhance your prospects, maintain high board scores and investigate the entrance exam prerequisites of the universities you wish to apply to.

Hope this helps. All the best!
