Yes, your BTech in Biotechnology is generally considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree for MSc applications abroad, especially in the UK.

Most UK universities recognize Indian four-year BTech degrees for postgraduate entry. However, each university may set its own specific requirements, such as minimum percentage, relevant subject background, or work experience.

You will also need to meet English language proficiency requirements, typically through tests like IELTS or TOEFL. Requirements and accepted scores are subject to change.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
