You can get a B.Tech branch after CUET, but it fully depends on your CUET score, category, and the cut-off of the college you apply to. Universities that offer B.Tech through CUET, like BHU, JNU, DU (select programs), and some central/state universities, allocate branches based on merit lists prepared from CUET scores. Higher CUET scores give better chances for popular branches like CSE, IT, and ECE, while lower scores may lead to less-demanded branches. Counselling decides the final branch allotment.
Yes, you can do a BSc in Marketing or any marketing-related bachelor’s degree even if you are from a Biology background, because marketing courses do not require Maths or Commerce in Class 12. For the CUET exam, you should select subjects like General Test (GT) and English, as most universities offering BBA/BSc Marketing consider these sections for admission. You do not need Commerce subjects for CUET, so Biology students are eligible to apply.
