With a CUET UG score of 557, you remain eligible for various central and state universities. Regarding Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (HNBGU), the B.Sc. (Biotechnology) application portal is now closed. Please monitor the official SAMARTH portal frequently, as institutions occasionally announce spot rounds or reopen registration for vacant seats.
With 322/750 in the PCB domain and a strong 166/250 in biology, you have a very solid chance of securing a B.Sc. seat. At HNBGU, the general category cutoffs for specialized B.Sc. life science courses fluctuate around 180–220+ marks. While competitive branches like biotechnology might push closer to the higher edge, your scores make you eligible and competitive for admission across multiple rounds. You should definitely register for their counseling portal.
Admission to B.Sc Nursing and B.Pharma course is not done based on NEET but through University Entrance test.
HNBGU will shortly release the CUET UG cut-off for the B.Pharma program. The university is expected to begin the counseling process very soon and you have to register yourself in order to participate in the counseling.
