    To get admission to the B.S. in Biological Science program at IIT Madras, you need to qualify through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) (Mains) and JEE (Advanced) exams, not the IISER exam. The general category candidates must have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th board exam with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry/Biology or Biotechnology as the compulsory subjects. For SC-ST category candidates, the minimum requirement is 65% in the 12th board exam.

    No, you cannot get admission to the B.S. in Biological Science program at IIT Madras without taking the JEE Advanced exam. The eligibility criteria for this program requires a student to have a minimum CGPA of 8.0 in the B.S. program and to have cleared the JEE Advanced exam. 

    Your JEE Mains score of 66.66% and expected NEET UG score of 400-450 do not meet the eligibility criteria for this program. The program admission is based solely on performance in the JEE Advanced exam, and there is no alternate path for admission without taking this exam.
