• Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (government) offers a well-regarded B.Tech in Biotechnology via AP EAMCET
• GITAM Institute of Technology, Visakhapatnam (private) also provides B.Tech Biotechnology through AP EAMCET and its own GAT exam, with moderate fee levels
• Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU), Guntur offers the same course via AP EAMCET alongside other exams like JEE Main

Other institutes include Al-Ameer College of Engineering & IT, Visakhapatnam, Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology (GIET), RVR & JC College of Engineering, and Vignan’s Engineering College, all offering AP EAMCET-based admissions for Biotechnology .

In TS PGECET, MSc Biotechnology is mainly offered for students with B.Sc. background, but admission rules vary by university. Some universities like Osmania and Kakatiya do offer MSc Biotechnology seats through PGECET, so yes it is possible. About the counseling form, if only MSc option is showing, it may be a technical issue. Since you are a B.Sc. Biotechnology graduate, you are eligible, but you should clarify with the PGECET helpline or check the official information booklet before applying.

Hello Aspirant,

If you are opting for Biotechnology, each university has its own advantages:

• BMSCE and MSRIT are well established universities with good faculty, decent placement history (certainly very respectable relative to emerging colleges) and alumni network/community. Programme is stable now and processes are well established, however, they would be using old ways of teaching and probably the infrastructure will be old too.
• Chanakya University is new and backed by Biocon and designed under NEP framework (looks good). Syllabus looks strong, especially with practical lab work, exposure to research(PhD), and inter-disciplinary consumption of subject and knowledge. However, students will probably be first year batch so will have to deal with uncertainty due to execution, placements and faculty stability.

Yes, some universities may offer MSc Biotechnology through TS PGECET, but it usually requires BSc with relevant subjects. If the counselling form does not list BSc as a qualification, it's possible that MSc admissions are limited to students with a different eligibility background (like BTech or MSc-level entry only). In such cases, you should not select incorrect information like MSc in the form. If there’s no option for BSc and no official help is coming, visit the nearest Help Center physically or try contacting PGECET helpline via phone/email repeatedly. Entering wrong qualification details may lead to disqualification during document verification.

Yes, you can appear for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test for U.S./Canada) even after B.Tech in Biotechnology from India. However, note:

MCAT is primarily for entry into medical schools abroad.

You’ll still need prerequisite coursework and apply through recognized medical schools.

To pursue medicine in India, you’ll need to appear for NEET instead.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can get a seat in M.Sc. Biotechnology through TG PGECET even though your B.Sc. Biotechnology background is valid. With the 14th rank, you have great chance of getting M.Sc. Biotechnology admission in top universities or colleges in Telangana. Attend the counselling process and have your documents ready.

Hello aspirant,

Both ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery) and GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery) are nursing diploma programs; however, GNM provides more advanced training and a wider range of practice than ANM.  While ANM graduates usually work in primary care or community health settings, GNM graduates can work as registered nurses in hospitals.  The "better" course ultimately comes down to personal preferences and career ambitions.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

For Diploma level program in Biotechnology you go for these prestigious government colleges in Kerala:
- Central Polytechnic College, Vattiyoorkavu
- Government Polytechnic, Koratty
- Government Polytechnic, Kothamangalam
- Maharaja's Technological Institute
- Government Polytechnic College, Adoor

Now, for diploma in Biomedical engineering you can check out these colleges:
- K. Karunakaran Memorial Model Polytechnic College, Mala [Thissur]
- E.K. Nayanar Memorial Model Polytechnic College, Kalliasseri [Kannur]
- Model Polytechnic College, Vadakara [Kozhikode]
- Model Polytechnic College, Painavu [Idukki]

Some important steps to follow before applying for courses:
- check the eligibility criteria regarding age, academics, or performance.
- Apply only through official website of colleges
- some colleges conduct entrance exams, check those too.

Good afternoon, you do not need to take a separate CET conducted by MJ College for admission into B.Sc. Biotechnology.

If you're applying through Maharashtra CAP rounds, then having a valid MHT CET score helps.

Otherwise, for merit based admission, your 12th PCB marks are sufficient.

Hey, Since you are from a PCB background and wrote AP EAPCET, you can get into B.Tech Biotechnology through BiPC stream counselling, not MPC. Andhra University does offer B.Tech Biotechnology, and the seat allotment is done under BiPC counselling. With a 13k rank, getting a seat in Andhra University for general category might be a bit tough because the cut off for AU usually closes at a much lower rank, especially for open category. But you can still try in the later rounds or look for other good colleges that offer biotech. About the classes, once counselling is done, most colleges usually start by August end or early September. Keep checking the AP EAPCET counselling schedule for updates. All the best!
