Before we dive right into what one needs to focus on, let us first understand FMS's selection criteria -
1. Weighted CAT 2021 Score - 50%
2. Marks obtained in Class X - 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, 75% and above: 10%)
3. Marks obtained in Class XII - 10% (60% and above but less than 75%: 5%, 75%, and above 10%)
4. Discussion on Statement of Purpose - 10%
5. Extempore 5%
6. Personal Interview - 15%
Point number 2 and 3 above are things that you cannot control, so let us focus on point 1 which is most essential, i.e your CAT score. Because only after a good CAT score (99.3+ for General Engineering Male) you will get an interview call and point 4,5 and 6 will become relevant.
So the strategy to target FMS is no different than the strategy to target top IIMs, based on historical data you need to aim to score 99.3+ percentile in CAT.

Any student thinking about a career in biotechnology needs to be aware that India is still a developing country for this industry. As a result, in comparison to the IT and CS industries, there are extremely few employment openings and very poor pay packages. Students can work in pharmaceutical businesses, research labs, and institutes in India after earning a B.Tech in biotechnology from LPU. However, the majority of Indian students choose to study for their master's or doctoral degrees in biotechnology and related subjects abroad. Some students choose to pursue an MBA and work in the business, finance, or banking industries because their engineering backgrounds have equipped them with the necessary quantitative skills to succeed in these fields. Additionally, a lot of students switch to software through on-campus jobs. Students majoring in biotechnology at LPU have a wide range of career options, including those in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, medical, food processing, nutrition, animal Science, and environmental conservation fields. There are numerous schools and institutions that offer this course, however it is advised that you earn your degree from a reputable institution like LPU because it offers excellent exposure, top employment opportunities, and training for professional development. It is strongly advised that students pursue graduate courses in biotechnology at LPU, biomedical sciences, biological sciences, bioprocess engineering, etc. Because this discipline is very research-oriented, broad, and diversified. Every eligible student who attends LPU has several options to get a suitable job. Foreign organizations have given the university high marks for placements of our students. For campus placements during a recent academic session, several major companies from the sector, including Cent, E-litmus, Alwar and Alwar Consultants, Roots Analysis Private Limited, etc. , visited the LPU campus. Through on-campus/off-campus placement drives, SSB interviews, and opportunities for employment in government services like the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Transport Corporation of India, etc. , LPU students have also taken advantage of these opportunities. We have become the regional hub for joint campuses for the majority of the businesses.
