I passed my 12th with biology & want to be a genetic engineer, is NISER a good option for me? If not, please suggest me other options.

Top universities require a minimum of 80-90% in your 12th-grade board exams.

• Average universities often accept students with 60-75%.
• For highly competitive courses like Medicine, cut off is usually higher. 
• Strong SAT/ACT scores can also compensate for a slightly lower board percentage.

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.

Class 12 marks are important for fulfilling the admission criteria and tie breaking criteria (if any) during admissions. Admission to Central Universities are conducted through CUET scores, however, candidates must fulfil the minimum marks requirement for admissions.

Students must prepare well for the entrance exams such as JEE Main,  JEE Advanced, and others. After 12th, the available programmes are BTech, BSc, and others. Students must get 60% to 70% in 12th and good marks in accepted entrance exams for a successful admission to the available programmes.
