Sir I want to know the syllabus of gate for biotechnology and also required question paper of gate

Hi friend,
UGC not provide net sylabus for biotech but csir-net provide sylabus of life science and i am giving you it in pdf form,may it help you.

a model gate question paper of bio technology

is this syllebuse applicable for bio stream students

gate2010 mechanical eng syylabus

sir i completed msc microbiology im eligible to write biotechnology or not?

Thank u soooooooooooooooooooooooo much brother

please tell me how many questions come from molecular biology in gate exam
