Once we have shortlisted our universities lets just review what exactly do we have to prepare for? as most of these universities involve enrollment via entrance examination!!! goshhh yes yes and the syllabi is definitely very vast even I got shocked when i saw my old BOTANY book of 11std in front to study for Pune entrance(:o)..so students BE PREPARED!!! and the earlier you strt the better your opportunities in getting into these courses.
Most of these examinations actually look out for your basics you must be strong in your BIOPHYSICS BIOCHEMISTRY STATISTICS and ofcourse your MOLECULAR BIOLOGY as you can see thses subjects are mostly concentrate din your SECOND Yr.. So be through with your second yr syllabus.
