You may be eligible for MSc Biotechnology admission at IEHE Bhopal if you have 55-60% marks in your BSc degree, but most PG seats require either entrance exam scores (GATE/JAM/IEHE test) or merit-based selection depending on institute guidelines. Since you scored 80% but haven't written any entrance, check with IEHE if direct merit admission is offered this year—some seats may be filled from qualifying marks if entrance is not mandatory, but requirements can change every session.
