Hi

Guessing you are a PCB student and you want to do Btech biotechnology even if you don't have maths in 12th

Yes, you can do definitely B tech biotechnology even if you are a Biology student and you don't have math

But yes ,

Not all the college offers B tech biotechnology to Biology students.

For example,

NITs offer btech biotechnology, like NIT Calicut NIT Durgapur etc but you cannot get admission for B tech biotechnology in NITs as they offer admission through jee Main and it is compulsory to have studied mathematics in 10 + 2 to be eligible for JEE Mains.

For your reference,

Jee main eligibility criteria is given below-

---------------------------) Qualification required :- to be eligible  for JEE mains you need 10+2/equivalent qualification from a recognised board.

Course
