    Respected sir

    I am pursuing B.E Biotechnology and i am currently in 7th semester. I had gone through the eligibility criteria for fresher 2018.
    I observed that there is no mention of biotechnology branch in B.E section. Though my subject in class 12 was Maths and CS and also i am interested in TCS.
    So i just want to confirm that I am eligible for the TCS Placement Exam or not.
