Section A BIOCHEMISTRY GENETICS BIOTECHNOLOGY CELL BIOLOGY IMMUNOLOGY MICROBIOLOGY NUMERICALS Read Textbooks thoroughly. This is a must for every aspirant. One can get the basic concept only through the textbooks. Flash cards can be used to remember the facts. Make tables in chart paper to remember. For the last moment preparation go through instant notes.

During preparation Avoid heavy oily food just before exam – your brain will concentrate on digestion not on your question paper. Take more vegetables & fresh water – like green leaves, carrots etc. which will decrease your eyestrain and sharpen your memory. Sleep deprivation will result in decreased mental alertness

How I would like to prepare it Aim to study at least 14 hour daily till 17th april as the exam is on 19th april. Try to cover syllabus by going through instant notes. do keep up with ur study plan Divide the time between subjects according to the priority BIOCHEMISTRY- 4 hrs BIOTECHNOLOGY – 4 hrs CELL BIOLOGY - 2 hrs GENETICS -2 hrs IMMUNOLOGY and 2 hrs on alternate days MICROBIOLOGY NUMERICALS – 1hr

Last but not the least Sleep whenever you feel saturated, exhausted or very sleepy but when you are awake don’t be lazy.
