NDRI - National Dairy Research Institute Karnal Answered Questions

Hi,Yes, you can appear for the entrance exams and go for a B-Tech degree.
In my opinion, Food Technology would be covering a wider aspect. You will develop competence in areas like Food Process Engineering, Crop Processing Technology, Food Analysis and regulations, Plant and Animal biotechnology.
You need a pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Chemistry, English and Mathematics or Biology or Biotechnology) or equivalent, subject to qualifying JEE Mains or the qualifying entrance test of a university. Like some universities have their own entrance exam like LPU, if you have not given JEEMains you can give LPUNest, the details of this test with the paper pattern is given on their website.
You can also give the other entrance exams like TANCET for taking admission in ANNA University.
There are many enterprising universities giving good academic benefits.

Hello Manish Kumar,
The information available on the website of National Dairy Research Institute is unfortunately not updated recently. But it does not talk of possibility of lateral admission. Hence I am afraid that scope of lateral admission is not there. But if your state govt accepts diploma as equivalent to 12th then you have still chance of seeking admission in first year of this four year degree course. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information about different aspects of the admission process.
