Can a PCM student take Btech biotechnology?

Hello there

Yes you are eligible to make your career in the field of biotechnology via two ways. You can either do BTech in biotechnology Or you can also go in Bachelor of Science degree in biotechnology.

But in some of the colleges you will be finding that they don't admit students in their college in the department of biotechnology to that students who have not studied biology in their intermediate. But this thing you will be finding in only Bachelor in Science not in Bachelor in technology.

So you can choose wisely according to the college in which you want to do this course.

I hope it helps you!

Thank you!
