hi,

see its hard to find the full syllabus gate biotech videos on you tube, but there is many free lectures and preparation strategy videos are available in youtube,  which you may check once from time to time to receive latest updates, difficulty level of papers knowledge.

just search by ''GATE biotechnology'' on you tube , you will get to see many videos on that.

hope it helps.

Hello Aspirant,

Unfortunately not, on such GATE score it is quite difficult to get any of the NIT or IIT.

The reason being is, If we go through the analysis of previous year's GATE score Vs College allotment than according to the GATE 2021 score mentioned by you in the query you have very less chances of getting any of the IITs or NITs because their cut-offs are somewhere around 500-550 marks for General category so I would recommend you to go with some private colleges in states like Andhra Pradesh , Telangana and some others because some private colleges also accept admission on the basis of GATE score.

You can check out previous year's cut-offs from the link given below :-

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-cutoff

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

To have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your GATE 2021 Score and category you can use GATE College Predictor :-

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

Hi Aspirant,

Let me clear this to you.Bsc (3 year) student are not eligible for Gate .The eligibility for giving gate examination is that you must have pursued 4 years qualifying degree after 10+2 level.However Bsc degree holder in engineering,technology etc who have 4 years of study are eligible for Gate however.

Hope it helps!!

hello,

yes offcourse you are eligible to give GATE in biotechnology. GATE is a type of exam in which any candidate switch their field of study or can grow in their same field of study. It doesn't matter what ug course you have studied. If you want to switch your field you can do it. For doing so you need to study all the subjects of biotechnology according to gate syllabus and while filling up the application you need to opt for BT (for biotechnology).

Syllabus for Biotechnology includes :

Section 1 : Engineering Mathematics

Section 2 : General Biotechnology

Section 3 : Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology

Section 4 : Fundamentals of Biological Engineering

Section 5 : Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

Section 6 : Plant, Animal and Microbial Biotechnolgy

Section 7 : Recombinant DNA Technologyand Other Tools in Biotechnology

Hope this will help you

all the best!!

Hey!

A B.Tech Biotechnology graduate can give GATE exam in M. Tech Food Technology.

Candidates must have a valid GATE Score with a qualifying score for assistantship in appropriate discipline of Engineering/ Technology. They must also have a recent TANCET score, that is conducted by Anna University.

Thank you.
