    Yes, you can go for B.Tech or B.Sc which ever is your choice of studies. B.Tech is more technical as compare to B.Sc. B.Tech in Bio-Tech is still a niche course in India and fairly good opportunities for engineers in the field of research and development.

    The major difference between any B.Sc. Degree and B.Tech degree is the fact that admission to B.Tech is a professional engineering degree and only approved engineering institutes are authorized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (India) (UGC) to give this degree; B.Sc. However, is an academic course which is available in almost every college of India. So B.Tech degree has a higher brand value and employability quotient. The course of B.Sc. Biotechnology is of 3 years while that of B.Tech Biotechnology extends over a span of 4 years. LPU provides both B.Sc. And B.Tech degree in Biot

    You should go for B.Tech in Biotechnology. The three-year B.Sc. course is conducted as any other Science subject and the students can go for the M.Sc course and take up research later. B.Tech course is the better option. Selection will be on the basis of the engineering entrance examination and marks obtained in plus two or equivalent examinations in Science subjects. Students who pass the qualifying examination with at least 50 percent marks in mathematics and as much in mathematics, Physics Chemistry and biotechnology, computer Science, or Biology took together are eligible to take the entrance examination.
  • B.Tech is a course that focuses on covering different aspects and fields related to engineering. B.Sc. In Biotechnology is a course that focuses on engineering to utilize it to create different outcomes and products related to welfare of humans. Yes, a person securing 70+ percentile in boards is eligible to enroll in these courses,. .

Hi.

While practicing the Maharashtra HSC 12th previous years' question papers is an excellent study strategy, relying solely on past papers is generally not sufficient to guarantee clearing the board exam with good marks.
Here's a breakdown of why and what additional steps are needed:
 
Why Previous Years' Papers are Not Enough on Their Own
  • Syllabus Coverage: Previous papers primarily test a sampling of the syllabus from past years. New exams may include different topics or ask questions in formats not seen in older papers. Relying only on them leaves gaps in your subject knowledge.
