To determine if you can get Bioinformatics or Biomedical Engineering with a rank of 13,600, I’ll need to know:

1. The exam you're referring to (e.g., JEE Main, MHT CET, VITEEE, COMEDK, etc.)

2. Your category (General, EWS, OBC, SC, ST, etc.)

3. State quota or All India quota?

4. Preferred colleges or states (if any)

Could you please provide that info?

Hi Sahana ,

You will be glad to know that students having btech biotechnology is eligible for Mtech biomedical engineering. There are lots of colleges which allows students to opt Mtech in this field. You can further pursue career in healthcare, medical device development , research and so on.

I hope this will be helpful for you!!

Good wishes !!
