Hello, You can go for B.Sc. Biotechnology or B.Tech Biotechnology after your 12th with PCM. It might become quite difficult to survive in biotechnology because a PCM student is unaware of basic concepts of biology which are roots of biotechnology. It is true that to study biotechnology one have to be very thorough in the basic concepts of biology. The syllabus of biology taught in 11th and 12th are the base of B.Sc. In Biotechnology course. So many institutions don't provide admission to PCM students for biotechnology course. If you have extreme desire to pursue B.Sc. In this field then there are some colleges too who welcome PCM students for this course. Even though for the sake of admission you don't need biology but a basic knowledge of biology is very much essential both in B.Sc. And B.Tech if you take up your career in Biotechnology. In biotechnology major preference is given to biology because biotech is all about integrating biological sciences with new advanced technologies. So, PCM students have to work on themselves to be strong enough in biology. Otherwise, they may face difficulty to understand the concepts. This was the same dilemma, with my brother, he had keen interest in Biotechnology, but was a PCM student, we researched many colleges and universities, then we came across Lovely Professional University. The reason why we choose LPU for my brother was Excellent Faculty. Since he was a Non Bio student, so he need extra attention and clarity towards concepts of Grade 11 and 12th. Faculty members at LPU were so cooperate that he became thorough with his concepts and Qualified his graduation with First division and also landed up with Campus Placements. So, I would suggest you the same, look forward with such a college or university in which faculty members are there to help you. I hope this helps You. Good Luck.

Biotech whereas you are eligible everywhere for B.Tech Biotech. Given that all of us have studied basic Biology till 10th standard, it won't be a problem for you. Ofcourse, initially you may find it little difficult to understand the basic life Science subjects taught during the first few semesters.
