Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query

Most institutions require candidates to have passed their 12th-grade examinations with Physics, Chemistry, and either Mathematics or Biology. So, having those subjects is very important. Therefore, both PCM and PCB can be relevant. some colleges will allow either combination, and some may prefer one over the other.

Biomedical Engineering is, at its core, an engineering discipline. A strong foundation in Physics and Mathematics is often highly valued. Many entrance exams, like JEE Main, which are used for admissions to prominent engineering colleges, heavily weigh PCM subjects .

Biomedical Engineering also has strong ties to biological and medical sciences. Knowledge of Biology is essential for understanding human physiology and the application of engineering principles to medical problems .Some colleges, especially those with a stronger emphasis on the biological side of Biomedical Engineering, may give more weight to PCB.

Each college sets its own cut-off marks or percentiles for admission. Admissions to good Biomedical Engineering programs often rely on entrance exam scores. For colleges accepting JEE Main scores, a high percentile is generally required. The exact percentile varies depending on the college's reputation and the number of applicants. State-level entrance exams (like MHT CET, KCET, etc.) also play a significant role, and the required percentiles will differ.

While both PCM and PCB can be relevant, PCM often holds more weight due to the engineering nature of the field.

I hope this helps.
