1. JNU, New Delhi

The Center of Biotechnology (CBT) at JNU undoubtedly runs one of the finest masters degree programs in biotechnology. The CBT was established in 1985 under joint sponsorship of the UGC and the DBT. And in the same year the Master of Science program in Biotechnology was started. The Center has established a very successful MSc biotech program, which selects the best of the students from the merit list prepared on the basis of an All India Entrance Test conducted by JNU. Analysis of the merit list indicates that during the past five years about 50-60 percent of the students from the top 100 give their first preference to JNU. But only 20-25 students are taken every year from the top on the basis of their preference. Till now most of the MSc students have gone to do research in different institutions in the country and abroad. Very few students have taken up jobs in the industry. Though the biotech industry is very keen to give jobs to the students and campus placements camps have been organized by various top notch companies like Panacea Biotec, Reliance Life Sciences and Invitrogen, students prefer to complete their higher education first.

Eligibility:
Bachelor’s degree under 10+2+3 pattern of education in Physical, Biological Agricultural, Veterinary and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, Engineering/Technology, 4-years B.Sc. (Physician Assistant Course); OR Medicine (MBBS) OR B.D.S. with at least 55% marks.

Selection Procedure:
Performance in the written test only

Broad Format for Entrance Examination :
The question paper for the Entrance Examination will be of three hours duration and divided into two parts: Part A will have multiple choice type questions at the level of 10+2. This part is subdivided into Section-I, II and III. Section I will have 40 questions from Physics and Chemistry and must be answered by all the candidates. Section-II will have 20 questions from Mathematics and Section-III will have 20 questions from Biology. Candidates will have option to answer questions from either Section-II or III. Total marks for Part A will be 60 questions x 1 mark each = 60 marks. There will be negative marking and for each wrong answer, ½ (half) mark will be deducted. Part B will also have multiple-choice questions of Bachelor's level requiring thinking and analysis. There will be about 40 questions from Physics and Mathematics, about 40 questions from Biology (e.g., Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics and Molecular Biology) and about 20 questions from Chemistry. The candidates will be required to attempt 60 questions. Total marks for Part B will be 60 questions x3 marks each = 180 marks. There will be negative marking and one mark for each wrong answer will be deducted.

JIPMER traces its origin to 1823 when a medical school called "Ecole de Medicine de Pondichery" was established by French government. In November 1956 the Government of India took over the medical college in the wake of the ‘de facto’ transfer of Pondicherry. The college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and named as Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) on 13th July 1964.
