For admission to DBT supported Post Graduate (DBT PG) Programme in Biotechnology at participating host institutions and universities. The question paper for GAT-B will have two sections: Section A: Section A will have 60 compulsory multiple choice questions of the level of 10+2in the subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. Each correct answer is of One (1) mark. There will be negative marking and for each wrong answer, Half (1/2 or 0.5) mark will be deducted. Section B: Section B will have multiple choice questions of Bachelor’s (Graduate) level requiring thinking and analysis. There will be questions from Basic Biology, Life Sciences, Biotechnology andallied areas as per syllabus given here. There will be 100 questions out of which candidates will have to attempt 60 questions. Each correct answer is of Three (3) marks. There will be negative marking and for each wrong answer, One (1) mark will be deducted. Un-answered/un-attempted question will be given Zero (0) mark. To answer a question, candidate needs to choose one option as correct option.
