I’m a student from Nagaland. And I just passed my PU with a combination Of PCB.
And I’m interested in BTech Biotech. Can you tell me, if it’s beneficial. Also, if it’s possible without taking up math.

No, you can't get admission in B.Tech biotechnology course after studying PCB stream without Mathematics subject. To be eligible to get admission for pursuing B.Tech biotechnology course, you should have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination with Physics, Mathematics and English as compulsory subjects along with Biotechnology or Biology as one of the subject. Since, you have not pursued Mathematics subject in your 12th standard, you are not eligible to get admission for pursuing B.Tech biotechnology course.

Mathematics is compulsory along with Physics & Chemistry for taking admission to B.Tech Biotechnology course in many leading government colleges. Apart from this, you have to clear the entrance examination to get admission to B.Tech Biotechnology course. Entrance examination contains mathematics paper also, therefore, it is difficult to get admission without mathematics. You can get admission in various private universities in B.Tech Biotechnology course without mathematics also. You can study the B.Tech Biotechnology course in Amity University after completion of Class XII with PCB with a minimum of 60% marks from a recognized board.

In order to pursue B.Tech, it is must that a student must have completed 10+2 standard with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from any recognized board of education.
Since you have completed your PU with a combination of PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), so you are not eligible for B.Tech.
For B.Tech course Mathematics is very important.

Let me tell you that you are a PCB students so you can go for BSC in biotechnology but not for bachelor of Technology in biotech. So it is recommended to you to pursue BSc in biotechnology in after that Masters course in biotechnology. That would be better because it is according to your interest and it would be fruitful for you in future.

No, I a am sorry to say that you are not eligible to pursue B.Tech Biotech after studying PCB stream. Candidates who have completed their 12th standard with PCM subjects from a recognized board are eligible to apply for B.Tech course.

You have not studied mathematics in 12th standard, so I am sorry to say that yor are not eligible to apply for B.Tech Biotech course.

It depends on the university in which you are applying for admission. Most of the reputed universities ask for math along with PCB for admission and some only ask for PCB.

Hence, apply for admission based on the notification. Different universities have different eligibility criteria.

As you have told that you want to do B.Tech Biotech then it is not possible if you have not Maths in 12th class. But it is possible if you have biotech subject as the main subject in class 12th.

But if you do not have Biotech subject in 12th class then sorry you can't do this course. There are also many other options for PCB. you can do BSc honors and you can also opt BSc simple.

You can also apply for the entrance exam for medical. There are so many courses in Medical field you can opt any of them. Instead this you can apply for BCA or BBA.

BCA is also a good course. It is computer based course and if you have interest in computers then this is the best course for you and there is a lot of demand for this course in the market. After that you can do MCA it is 2 years course and it is master degree course.

After this course, you can apply for the job in many companies where you will get good salary package and good position.

So there are lot of options which you can choose for your future.

I am sorry to say that in order to pursue any of the B.Tech degree course, you must have to study Mathematics and Physics in your class 12th which is the basic need for B.Tech courses. For doing B.Tech in Biotechnology, you must have to study Physics, Mathematics and any one subject in between Chemistry and Biology with scoring a minimum of 50% of marks in your class 12th examination.
So, you must have studied Mathematics in class 12th for doing B.Tech in Biotechnology.

Yes, you are eligible to get admission in B.tech ( Biotechnology ).

The eligibility to get admission in course is candidate must have passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology/Mathematics as main paper.

Candidate must have scored minimum 50%( varies with institute ).

So, if you want to get admission in course you can appear in entrance examination conducted by various institutes.

Yes, it is beneficial course for candidates interested in pursuing medical courses.

Dear Friend,

Sorry, you are not eligible for B.Tech in Biotech, because for this course candidate should be passed 10+2 exam in physics, chemistry, mathematics.
You can go for B.Sc in biotech then after B.Sc you will be eligible for Lateral entry in colleges which are offering B.Tech in biotech.

Regards,
Sandhya

No, you are not eligible for Biotechnology course.

Those candidates who have completed 12th with PCM from a recognized board are eligible for B.Tech/B.E in Biotechnology.

Your age should be above 16 years.
