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.

BIOCHEMISTRY
The question The standard alpha helical conformation 3.613.
The important topicsProtein, enzymes, carbohydrate, lipids, Nucleotides,Glycolysis, citric acid cycle,Photosynthesis and Nitrogen fixation
Recommended booksLehinger principles of biochemistry by Nelson and Cox(study 2 and 4th unit completely)Practical biochemistry by wilson and walkerInstant notes on biochemistry

Cell biology
Important topics Cell signalling, cell cycle, cell surface, cancer, protein sorting
Recommended booksThe cell a molecular approach by G.M cooperGene IX by B. Lewin
www.biotecnika.org
IMMUNOLOGYImportant topicsAntibody structure, antigen –antibody interaction, tecniques like ELISA

NUMERICALSThe question
N =In(1- P)In(1-I/G)
Where N = no. of independent clonesP = the probability to isolate a specific DNA segment I =size of the average cloned insertG = size of the target genome
The topics Mole amd moleclar weight pHCell growthRecombinant DNACalculating genotype frequencies and Hardy- weinberg equation
Recommended bookCalculation in molecular biology and biotechnology by frank H. stephenson

Section B
SPECIALISATON COURSEAgricultral biotechnologyAnimal biotechnologyphramaceutical biotechnologyEnvironmental biotechnolgyNeurosciencesMolecular and human geneticsMarine biotechnologyMedical biotecnology
The M.sc courses of the above branches are used as syllabus

During preparationAvoid 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 planDivide the time between subjects according to the priority BIOCHEMISTRY- 4 hrs
BIOTECHNOLOGY – 4 hrs
CELL BIOLOGY - 2 hrs
GENETICS -2 hrs
IMMUNOLOGYand 2 hrs on alternate daysMICROBIOLOGY
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.
