Biotechnology Eligibility

Pursuing paramedical programs is eligible to apply for the IIT Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. in Biotechnology (IIT JAM);However, you need to meet the eligibility requirements as stated by the participating IITs so that you will be able to get admission. There are, however, some basic criteria laid down by these institutes, by which, invariably, the candidate possesses an undergraduate degree in the relevant discipline and has certain minimum percentage marks that vary institution to institution. About specific eligibility for IIT JAM Biotechnology, check across the official IIT JAM site or the sites of participating IITs to assure that the applicants meet all standards like previous scores.

Programme Details- Duration :2 yrs. (4 Semesters) A four semester program, to enable graduate students to pursue doctoral studies or professional employment, through imparting in depth knowledge in specific areas of Biotechnology along with three semester dissertation.Eligibility Criteria Pass with 55% aggregate marks in Bachelors degree of BiotechnologyOr Applied Medical Science  (Pharmaceutical Sciences, Physiotherapy, Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical Sciences)Or Medical Science & Allied Medical Science  (MBBS, BAMS, BDS, BHMS, Nursing, MLT)Or Biosciences  (Biotech, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Genetics)or Life Sciences  (Botany, Zoology) or Agriculture or Nanotechnology or Food Sciences or Veterinary Microbiology and Parasitology or Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology or Public Health & Allied Sciences or Plant Science or equivalent.
