I am pcb student I do n.tech biotechnology so which entrance exam I give
Hello,
Yes, as a PCB student, you can apply for B.Tech in Biotechnology, but it depends on the eligibility criteria set by the university or the entrance exam you want to take. Some colleges might ask for Mathematics for B.Tech courses, but some universities allow PCB students for Biotechnology. Many engineering colleges give admission to students through exams like:
JEE Mains, this exam is mostly for PCM students, but a few private colleges also accept PCB students.
State-level exams are also there; they conduct their own entrance exams (like MHT CET, etc.), where eligibility for biotech may include PCB.
University-level exams include Institutes like Vellore Institute of Technology (VITEEE), SRM Institute (SRMJEEE), or Amity University, which have their own entrance exams and accept PCB students for B.Tech Biotechnology.
Some colleges might give direct admission based on your Class 12 marks, especially for students with a background in biology. But checking the eligibility criteria of each institute is important, as some still ask for Mathematics at the 10+2 level.
You can also explore integrated programs, such as B.Tech + M.Tech in Biotechnology, or B.Sc + M.Sc dual degrees, which are more biology-focused and don’t always require Maths.

hello aspirant,
If you are a PCB student and want to pursue B.Tech in Biotechnology, you can apply through several entrance exams that accept PCB for this stream. Exams like CUET UG (for central universities like BHU), VITEEE (for VIT), SRMJEEE (for SRM University), WBJEE, and some state CETs like MHT CET or KCET offer admission to biotech courses. JEE Main usually requires PCM, so it's not suitable for PCB students in most cases.
Since you're a PCB student and want to do B.Tech in Biotechnology, you’ve got a few good options. Most colleges accept JEE Main, but that’s usually for PCM students. The good thing is, some private and state universities allow PCB students for B.Tech Biotech since it’s more bio-focused.
You can give exams:
– CUET (for central universities like BHU, DU, etc.)
– VITEEE (VIT Vellore allows PCB students for Biotech)
– SRMJEEE (SRM University accepts PCB for Biotech too)
– WBJEE and other state-level exams in some cases (depends on the rules)
– Private university entrances like Amity, Shoolini, or Lovely Professional University
Basically, check the eligibility on each university’s site, because not all accept PCB for engineering, but biotech is one of the few exceptions. You don’t have to give NEET unless you’re going for B.Sc or B.Tech in a medical-specific line like biomedical or want to switch to MBBS.
