Admission Process Overview
The admission process for the Biotechnology program at Alliance University Bangalore follows a structured timeline that begins with application submission and ends with seat confirmation. The process involves multiple stages, each critical to determining eligibility and selecting candidates.
Students must first register online via the university's official portal or through state-specific counseling portals like JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority). During registration, applicants are required to upload necessary documents including academic transcripts, photograph, signature, and identity proof.
After successful registration, candidates must appear for qualifying examinations such as JEE Advanced or JEE Main, depending on the admission category. For instance, those applying under the General category must have cleared JEE Advanced with a minimum score set by the university. Similarly, students from reserved categories may apply through state-specific counseling processes.
Once the qualifying exam results are declared, candidates proceed to the merit list preparation phase. Based on performance in the entrance exam and class 12th marks (if applicable), the university ranks all eligible applicants. Subsequently, a merit-based seat allocation process is initiated where preferences indicated during registration determine final placement.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| General | 20 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 60% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |
| EWS | 20 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 50% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |
| OBC-NCL | 20 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 50% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |
| SC | 20 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 45% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |
| ST | 20 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 45% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |
| PwD (General) | 25 years | JEE Advanced or JEE Main | 40% | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics |

Preparation and Counseling Strategies
To maximize chances of admission, aspirants should start preparing early—ideally 1.5 years before the exam date. The key to success lies in consistent practice, time management, and understanding the syllabus thoroughly.
For JEE Advanced preparation, focus on mastering core subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Utilize standard textbooks such as NCERT for basics, HC Verma for Physics, OP Tandon for Chemistry, and RD Sharma for Mathematics. Additionally, solve previous years' question papers and take regular mock tests to assess progress.
During counseling, it is crucial to understand the ranking system and fill choices strategically. Prioritize colleges based on your rank, preferred location, and program availability. Keep backup options in case top choices are not available.
For those applying under PwD categories, ensure all documentation related to disability is properly submitted and verified during the application process. The university provides special accommodations to facilitate fair evaluation.
