My brother is a student of the B.Sc. (Honors Course ) in Zoology at the Calcutta University. He came to know that his exams are coming very soon but still he has not started study so now he wants the syllabus B.Sc. (Honors Course) in Zoology at the Calcutta University so provide me the link for it? Also give me the link ton download the question papers of it?
