No, you do not need NEET for a B.Sc in Microbiology. For most B.Sc courses, colleges use your Plus Two marks to make the rank list. The University of Kerala says no entrance exam is needed for most of the Microbiology programmes. You apply online through the university's CAP portal.

No national exam like NEET is not needed for B.Sc Forensic Science. For a related field, criminology and forensic law colleges in Tamil Nadu, admission is mostly based on merit in the qualifying exam. Some deemed universities may hold their own entrance test or interview.

Yes, in most colleges. NCAHP said NEET UG will not be mandatory for BPT and BOT in the 2026-27 session. Many colleges admit through Class 12 PCB marks or their own tests. Top government colleges like KGMU still use NEET. Check each college's notice. Keep your PCB marksheet ready.

Usually no. Colleges admit students through CUET, JEE Main, university tests or state engineering exams. Amity Bengaluru's B.Tech Biotechnology also accepts NEET or AMCAT scores. So NEET can help in a few cases. Check each college's list of accepted exams.
