LPU receives the highest NAAC grade i.e. A++ with 3.68 crore on 4 point scale as per the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Yes dear , you can take direct admission in M.Sc. (Hons.) Biotechnology programme which is a four-semester program, enables graduate students to pursue doctoral studies or professional employment, by imparting in-depth knowledge in specific areas of Biotechnology along with three semester dissertation. It has a duration of 2 years. The eligibility criteria are - Pass with 55% aggregate marks in bachelor's degree in 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.The programme fee per semester is 80000 INR, without any scholarship. If you want to reduce this fee, then you can apply for the LPUNEST scholarship exam and after qualifying you can get up to 70% scholarship in programme fees. Moreover, the salient features of course are as follows -Contemporary curriculumInstil advanced knowledge in the major areas of biotechnology such as Genetic engineering, molecular biology, reproductive and therapeutic cloning and research methodology.Knowledge EnhancementCourses based on plant and animal biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology and immunology are incorporated in the curriculum to provide students with basic knowledge and modern technology used in the research areas. These courses are also required for qualifying national eligibility test.ProjectProject has been incorporated to make the program research-oriented and to equip the students with practical exposure, writing and presentation skills.Technical skillsLaboratory courses in every semester are offered to develop practical skills in the students.

Yes, it is possible to take the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) even if already having completed BA and meeting the eligibility criteria. A more accurate explanation is here: NEET Eligibility Criteria: 1. Educational Qualification:You are required to have minimum of 10+2 or an equivalent qualification from any recognised board.The subjects taken in 10+2 should comprise of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology, as well as English as mandatory subjects. 2. Minimum Aggregate Percentages Required:General category: Should not be less than 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology.OBC/SC/ST: Aggregate of at least 40%.PWD: Aggregate percent of 45%.3. Age Limit:Minimum Age: The minimum age of the candidate should reach 17 years age by December 31 of the year in which admission is being sought.Upper Age Limit: At present there does not exist any limit (currently guidelines state this).4. Additional Points:Even after completing BA, eligibility for NEET depends on 12th qualifications and fundamental subject requirements.If you did not do Biology in 12th, possibility of scenario of being eligible becomes nil even for aggregate percentage conditions.Key Issues:Ensure that you comply with the subject and marks requirements, both of these come from 12th standard.In that case, if you are deemed to be eligible, at the time when the applications are out, NTA NEET portal allows candidates to register for NEET. Kindly let me know if you wish to have furhter clarification regarding the matter!Hope this helps you
