BSc Biotechnology uses living cells and biology to make useful products, such as medicines and better crops. You study cell biology, genetics, biochemistry and microbiology. It leads to a master's in biotechnology or lab-based work.
In CUET UG 2026, 7 central universities list BSc Biotechnology. Biology is the paper asked most often, then Chemistry, English, Physics and the General Aptitude Test. CU Kashmir and GGU ask only for Biology. CUTN asks for Biology and Chemistry, and CURAJ asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology. IGNTU accepts Biology or Chemistry. MZU asks for English plus Biology, and NEHU asks for English plus Biology or the General Aptitude Test.
Eligibility asks for Class 12 Science, often with Biology, and a minimum aggregate between 45% and 60%. CU Kashmir accepts Biotechnology, Biology, Biochemistry, Botany or Zoology as one of the Class 12 subjects. Tip: Biology, Chemistry and Physics plus English cover all seven universities.
