What is the LBS Centre for Science and Technology?
The LBS Centre is the nodal agency authorized by the Government of Kerala to conduct the centralized allotment process for B.Sc Nursing and various Paramedical degree courses (BPT, B.Sc MLT, B.Sc Optometry, etc.).
Unlike MBBS, these courses do not require NEET. Admissions are strictly based on the merit of your Plus Two (Class 12) marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
How is the LBS Rank Calculated?
The rank list is generated by normalizing your Plus Two board marks. The index mark calculation gives primary weightage to Biology, followed by Chemistry and Physics.
Tip: You can use Adotzee's LBS Rank Calculator to instantly predict your state rank based on previous year trends!
