| | | I want to do M. Sc. in Biotechnology. My friends are telling me as I am studying B. Sc. in Physics, I will not be eligible for this. Is it true? Which colleges offer this course? Does JNU conduct any admission test for this? | No, it is not true. Typically, eligibility requirement for admission to a M. Sc. course in Biotechnology is a Bachelor's degree under 10+2+3 pattern of education in Physical/Biological/ Agricultural/Veterinary Science/Fishery Science/ Pharmacy/ Engineering/ Technology or Medicine (MBBS) or BDS with at least 55% marks in aggregate.
