NEST Exam Pattern 2025: Marking Scheme, Mode of Exam, Subjects & Scores

Yes, with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) background, you can pursue a B.Tech in Biotechnology, especially if you've taken relevant entrance exams like NEST, CUET, or have appeared for NEET. While some B.Tech programs may require Mathematics as a core subject, many universities offer programs that accommodate PCB students, either through specific tracks or by providing bridging courses in Mathematics during the first year.

Hello Aspirant,

For NEST (National Entrance Screening Test) preparation, focusing on important chapters can boost your score. Based on previous years’ trends, here’s a subject-wise list of important chapters:

Physics

• Motion & Laws of Motion

• Work, Energy, Power

• Heat & Thermodynamics

• Current Electricity

• Optics

• Modern Physics (Atoms & Nuclei)

Chemistry

• Atomic Structure

• Chemical Bonding

• Equilibrium

• Thermodynamics

• Organic Chemistry (Basics, GOC, Hydrocarbons)

• Coordination Compounds Mathematics

• Sets, Relations & Functions

• Permutations & Combinations

• Probability

• Calculus (Limits, Derivatives, Integration)

• Matrices & Determinants

• Complex Numbers

Biology

• Cell: Structure & Function

• Genetics & Evolution

• Human Physiology

• Plant Physiology

• Ecology & Environment

• Biotechnology

General Section

• Logical Reasoning

• Analytical Ability

• General Science (basic)

• Data Interpretation

Focus on NCERTs (Class 11 & 12) for all subjects, especially Biology and Chemistry.

All the best for your NEST exam.

Hello!

Yes, you are eligible to appear for NEET .

As per NEET eligibility criteria:

• You need a minimum of 50% marks in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for General category,

• 40% for SC/ST/OBC categories,

• And 45% for PWD (General-PH) candidates.

Since you scored 58.6% in PCB , you meet the required subject criteria. Your overall percentage (69.33%) is also acceptable.

So yes, you can apply and appear for the NEET exam.

Hope this helps!

Here's the syllabus for
LPUNEST:

• Physics : Topics include laws of motion, work, energy, and power, dynamics of uniform circular motion, and more.
• Chemistry : Includes matter and its nature, laws of chemical combination, atomic and molecular masses, and chemical equations and stoichiometry.
• Mathematics : Covers various topics from algebra, calculus, geometry, and trigonometry.
• Biology : Includes topics from both botany and zoology, focusing on the 10+2 curriculum.
• English: Focuses on general aptitude and language proficiency
  
  For AEEE is :
  
  
• Physics : Similar to LPUNEST, covering mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics.
• Chemistry : Topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, and organic chemistry.
• Mathematics : Includes algebra, calculus, geometry, and trigonometry.
  
  

Hello,

Since you are currently in class 10 and plan ahead for higher education after completing your school years, it's a great idea to consider colleges that match your career aspirations. The best college for you depends on what field of study or course you are interested in pursuing.
