To opt this course you need to have passed class 12th exam with physics,chemistry and biology or mathematics as your main subjects with a minimum aggregate of 50% marks. Colleges offering this course may conduct an entrance exam or even give admission based on merit list. Some of the good colleges offering this course are as follows-
