MSc Biotechnology Entrance Exam Syllabus

The question paper for the Entrance Examination will be of three hours duration and
divided into two parts:

Part-A will have multiple choice type questions at the level of 10+2 in the subjects
Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology

You will be required to attempt 60 questions

Total marks for Part A will be (60 questions x 1 mark each) of 60 marks

There will be negative marking and for each wrong answer, ½ (half) mark will be
deducted

Part-B will also have multiple-choice questions of Bachelor’s level requiring thinking
and analysis

There will be questions from Physics, Mathematics, Biology (e.g., Botany, Zoology,

Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics and Molecular Biology) and Chemistry

You will be required to attempt 60 questions
Total marks for Part B will be 60 questions x 3 marks each = 180 marks
