To study biotechnology at graduation level. you have to pass entrance exams. the syllabus for entrance exams also consists of biotechnology and biology. It is compulsory to have studied either biology or biotechnology in class 12th to appear for these exams. A fair idea of the syllabus of biotechnology can be obtained from the unit of biotechnology in the NCERT textbook of biology of class 12th. But if you are taking admission in biotechnology in institutes like IIT or DTU, you need not have studied biology at class 12th because these institutes give admission through JEE exam the syllabus of which does not contain biology.
