Entrance exams for MSc Biotechnology are usually conducted once a year, and most universities hold them between April and July. If you are completing your BSc Biotechnology in March 2026, you will be eligible to apply for the 2026 admission cycle. National-level exams like CUET PG generally open applications around December to January, with exams held in March or April. Many universities such as state universities, central universities and private institutes also conduct their own entrance tests, usually after your final semester exams.
You should start checking notifications from December 2025 onwards, as most application forms are released in the first few months of the year. You can apply even if your final results are not declared, as universities allow provisional admission based on a final pass in graduation. Make sure to follow the timelines of the specific university where you want to join MSc Biotechnology. All the best.
