No, there is no single national counselling for B.Tech through CUET, like JoSAA for IITs and NITs. Each university completes admission through its own counselling or admission portal, and the university decides the eligibility. So you must register separately with every college you want, follow its

For DU and central universities, yes. UG admissions to B.Sc Biotechnology (Hons) at DU colleges are through CUET UG 2026. Many private universities do not need it. They use their own tests or your Class 12 marks. Check each college's admission page. Do not skip CUET if you want a government seat.

Check the notice before you rely on it. You must qualify JEE Main or CUET for UPTAC. A news report says only candidates with a valid JEE Main 2026 rank could register. The special rounds list CUET (UG) 2026 along with JEE Main. So CUET may help only in some rounds. JEE Main is the safe choice.
