• The candidates should pursue this course when they have decided that they want to pursue a career that is mainly based on research. 
• It is an important decision and investment of time and money hence it needs to be done after thinking and analyzing its consequences and profits.

BTech Biotechnology Admission Process

BTech Biotechnology Admission process is slightly different for colleges but most of the institutes offer BTech Biotechnology admissions based on entrance exams such as JEE MAINS. Candidates must have passed class 12th in science stream with 60% minimum average marks to apply for BTech Biotechnology admission 2024.

Eligibility

Here are some of the compulsory BTech Biotechnology eligibility criteria that every candidate should fulfil to gain admission to the course: 

• The candidate must have cleared 10+2 examinations from the science stream with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology subjects from a recognized board.
• English must be a compulsory language in class 12th.
• The students should have secured minimum 75% aggregate marks at the 10+2 level. 
• Minimum age should be 17 years of age.. 
• Submission of JEE Mains or any other equivalent entrance examination is compulsory.

Direct Admission

Direct admission means to get admitted into the Colleges and Universities directly without giving/clearing any entrance exam. You can directly get admitted for a Btech Biotechnology course through management quota. You can get into the best Private colleges through this if you have scored well in class 12th.

Management Quota acts as a lifeline for the students to join the desired engineering branch in the same college for which they are dreaming. Almost all private Engineering colleges reserve some percentage (25-30) seats of their total intake in Management Quota.
