Rank 491 in M.Sc. Biotechnology can be quite decent, but whether it is "good" or not depends upon for which college you are aiming.
As far as the last rank for M.Sc. Biotechnology in CPGET 2024 is concerned, it changes every year because certain criteria come into action such as a number of applicants, seat factor, and category-wise reservations among others. The last rank cutoff may also vary for different colleges affiliated under CPGET.
For an accurate trend, it is always better to refer to the official cutoff list published by universities or to the admission office of colleges concerned. They can further provide detailed information
