सवाल
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.
Do I need a computer for this paper?
Only for the bioinformatics unit; the centre's computer lab is used to practise NCBI and BLAST searches.
Is there a test after the course?
Yes. Unit-wise multiple-choice tests and a final exam paper are included for semester exam practice.
