Hello Tanishk,

Based on your score of 72 in Section A of UCEED 2025, and considering that you couldn't clear the overall cutoff, it's challenging to predict an exact rank. The UCEED rank is determined by the combined scores of Part A and Part B . For the Open category, a score above 135 is generally considered good . Since your score is below this threshold, it's likely that your rank would be lower, and admission to top design institutes might be challenging. However, exact rankings can vary each year based on the exam's difficulty and the performance of other candidates.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

Getting a good placement right after completing a BSc in Biotechnology can be a bit challenging because most companies prefer candidates with higher qualifications (like MSc or PhD ) or some experience.

However, some companies do hire fresh graduates for entry-level roles like lab assistants, quality control analysts, research assistants, or sales in biotech firms .

• If you want to increase your chances of getting a job after BSc, you can:
  Do internships during your studies to gain experience.
  Learn practical skills like lab techniques, data analysis, and bioinformatics.
  Apply for government or private sector jobs in biotech, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.
  Consider higher studies (MSc or MBA in biotech-related fields) for better job opportunities.

If you want to start earning right after BSc , be ready for entry-level jobs or explore opportunities in related fields like medical coding, content writing in biotech, or sales in pharma companies .

Hope it helps !
