Hi

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

Required Criteria based on Class 12th  or equivalent

B.E/B.Tech

Passed qualifying examination with Physics and   Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with any one of :-


----)Chemistry

-----)Biotechnology

-----)Biology

----) Technical Vocational subject.

B.Arch

Passed qualifying examination with

-----)Mathematics,

-----)Physics,

------) Chemistry


To be eligible for B. Arch , you have at least 50% in aggregate of Physics, chemistry and Maths and also 50 % in overall in 12th/equivalent

B.Planning

Passed qualifying examination with Mathematics


You must have at least 50% marks in Maths in 12th and also 50% in 12th /equivalent overall.

Thank you

Hello,

Without Math Subject

Yes ..

You are qualified to pursue a B.Tech in biotechnology at any government university, with the exception of IITs and NITs. Since you completed your 12th grade education at PCB, you are not qualified to sit for the IIT admission test.

You can complete your B.Tech in biotechnology at any government institution that offers the programme, aside from the IITs and NITs.


With Math Subject

Yes, students majoring in PCB are qualified for the B.Tech. in Biotechnology. You must complete 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology, as well as Class 12 with a minimum grade of 50%, in order to be eligible.


Good Luck!!
