Questions
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc Zoology, Semester 5. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and question pattern.
Will I do real dissections?
Following UGC guidelines, dissections are done virtually or on models and charts; specimens and slides are studied directly.
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.
