Karnataka PGCET Syllabus for Biotechnology

Is the syllabus of Biotechnology of Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET) changed from last time or is it the same as I have given the exam last time too but could not clear it? Provide me the syllabus of Biotechnology of Karnataka PGCET in PDF format?

Hi buddy here I am looking for Karnataka PGCET Syllabus for Biotechnology paper so would you plz let me know from where I can collect it ??
