Biotechnology

Yes, you can major in biotechnology with a 55% in 12th grade but you might not have many options. Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB) or Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) must be taken for at least 50–60% of the 12th grade at many colleges.

Admissions Options:
Private Universities: Students that score 50% or higher are often admitted to private universities.
Diploma Programs: You might choose to enrol in a Biotechnology Diploma programme and then thereafter pursue a B.Sc. Biotechnology through lateral entry.
State institutions: The requirements for some state and deemed institutions may be lenient.

A three-year Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) course with streams in botany, zoology, and biotechnology can be pursued at the Government Degree College in Anantnag. While the available sources don't mention the specific fee of the courses, the similar programs of nearby colleges, such as the Government Degree College for Women Anantnag, come for a range between2,780 to 3,930 in first year.
This means that the Government Degree College in Anantnag most likely has an identical fee structure.

You cannot seek admission to the B.Tech in Biotechnology course at the Kolhapur Institute of Technology purely on the basis of an MHT CET (PCB) score. Admissions are based on entrance exams; the admissions may be qualified either through MHT CET or JEE Main for entrance into the program.

Those candidates qualifying through either of the examinations can participate in the CET counseling process for final allotment of seats. This means that while scores from MHT CET are accepted, admission is possible by other means also.
