Hello

The Karnataka PGCET Biotechnology syllabus for 2026 will likely be similar to previous years. It covers topics like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Biotechnology applications. You can find detailed syllabus info on the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) website. It’s a good idea to check there regularly for any updates. Reviewing past papers can also help you prepare better.

With an EAPCET rank of 3266 under EWS, you do stand a fair chance for admission into B.Tech Biotechnology at CBIT, as this branch usually closes at a comparatively higher rank than CSE, IT, or ECE. However, CBIT is one of the top private colleges in Telangana, so cut-offs fluctuate based on demand, and competition within the EWS quota can make it tighter. Your chances look moderately good, but you should also keep backup options in similar tier colleges like Vasavi, VNRVJIET, or Gokaraju.

Hello,

The cut-off list for B.Sc Biotechnology at Vikram University is not released separately.

Admission is done through CUET UG score and merit list . If your CUET percentile is around 90 or above , you have good chances.

After CUET results, the university will publish the merit list and start counselling. The counselling process includes registration, choice filling, seat allotment, document verification and fee payment .

Hope it helps !

Hi,

Admission timelines for BSc Biotechnology and Informatics vary from university to university. In most central and state universities, the admission season typically begins in June–July after Class 12 results, and the first few rounds of counselling or merit lists close by August. However, some private universities and autonomous institutions keep their admission windows open until September or even October, especially if seats are still vacant. If you are looking for admission right now, I’d recommend directly checking the official websites or admission portals of universities you are interested in, because some may still have late-entry or spot admission rounds open. Also, if you have CUET scores, some universities might still consider late applicants under special provisions.

Wishing you the best in securing a seat, and thank you for asking this question!

• Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (government) offers a well-regarded B.Tech in Biotechnology via AP EAMCET
• GITAM Institute of Technology, Visakhapatnam (private) also provides B.Tech Biotechnology through AP EAMCET and its own GAT exam, with moderate fee levels
• Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU), Guntur offers the same course via AP EAMCET alongside other exams like JEE Main

Other institutes include Al-Ameer College of Engineering & IT, Visakhapatnam, Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology (GIET), RVR & JC College of Engineering, and Vignan’s Engineering College, all offering AP EAMCET-based admissions for Biotechnology .

If you have a TS PGECET rank of 54 with a BSc in Biotechnology, you stand a very strong chance of admission to an MSc program in many Telangana universities. Most postgraduate departments including MSc Biotechnology accept candidates with PGECET ranks well under 500 across top institutions like JNTUH Osmania University and SR University.

The TS PGECET counselling process has already begun. It includes online registration certificate upload for verification web choice filling seat allotment and institute reporting Careers360 Engineering Shiksha (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/ts-pgecet-exam-counselling?utm_source=chatgpt.com) . Given your rank you are in a prime position to secure a seat in one of the preferred colleges or specializations.

In TS PGECET, MSc Biotechnology is mainly offered for students with B.Sc. background, but admission rules vary by university. Some universities like Osmania and Kakatiya do offer MSc Biotechnology seats through PGECET, so yes it is possible. About the counseling form, if only MSc option is showing, it may be a technical issue. Since you are a B.Sc. Biotechnology graduate, you are eligible, but you should clarify with the PGECET helpline or check the official information booklet before applying.
