I am now in third year and 6th semester is coming on May. I have started preparation for Gate BT 2016..as I have only one year...I have checked the year wise list of conducting gate institutes...and from this I have guessed that IISC Bangalore will conduct gate 2016..But my question is as IISC Bangalore has ug courses in B.Sc biology courses..so how should I prepare myself..as there are so many subjects like neurobiology, hormones and endocrine system   and if questions will come from those topics then it will create problem as these topics are not in gate bt syllabus..plz help...

Hi Dipak,

Questions won't be asked out of the syllabus. You may safely ignore those topics which are off syllabus.

And your strategy for solving previous year papers should be such that you should try to comprehend the details of each and every option of an MCQ. To quote an example:

If I ask someone about the gaseous hormone in plants. And give four options:
a. Auxin B. Cytokinin C. Abscisic acid D. Ethylene

Then apart from knowing the right answer, you should be aware of the details of all other three options as well (their role/their significance).

This would ensure a deep understanding of a broad spectrum of topics.

Hope it helps

Best wishes

Sunil
