How can I qualify the entrance exam conducted by G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology?

If you're from Uttar Pradesh and planning to take B.Tech in Biotechnology at Pantnagar University (GBPUAT), just know that since you're from a different state, you’ll only be eligible for payment seats, not the regular state quota.

The admission is through JEE Main, and they usually conduct counseling through Uttarakhand Technical University. I checked the fee details and here’s the breakdown:

• The tuition fee is around Rs 25,000 per semester, so that’s Rs 50,000 per year. For the entire 4-year course, you’ll be paying about Rs1 Lacs just in tuition fees. But that’s not all — there are separate charges for hostel and mess.
• The hostel fee comes to about Rs 21,000 per year, and the mess advance is Rs 20,000 per semester, so those costs add up too. Overall, it’s still way more affordable than private colleges, but you should budget for around 60,000–70,000 per year including everything.

Also, the information can change a bit year to year.
