Questions
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc Zoology, Semester 4. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and question pattern.
Is blood collection safe in the lab?
Only sterile single-use lancets are used, under supervision, and all sharps and swabs go into proper disposal containers.
How are the practicals marked?
The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric; the viva questions here prepare you for the university practical exam.
