Respected Sir/Mam, I have completed my 12 HSC in New Model Junior College Kolhapur, Maharashtra. I have scored 61% with group PCMB+ Hindi & English. I had also attempted CET scoring 95 out of 300 with PCMB. I am very much interested in Genetics. Could I get admission for Genetics? What courses should I go through for Genetics? I would be very thankful to you if you please guide me about it.
