सवाल

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc Botany, Semester 6. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and question pattern.

Can mitosis slides be prepared quickly?

Yes. Onion root tips grown in 3-4 days on water are enough; the trainer helps with fixing and squashing.

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.
