0:21 Good evening, everyone. And Happy New Year to everyone. So, along with this Happy New Year, in this new year, all of you should prepare well for your exams and qualify. Your Set PG Exam As you all know, Cut PG has approximately eight subjects. So, those who are taking the exam in the relevant subject must be preparing for it. The form has been filled out. The set intimation has also been passed. So, now you will have to take the exam in March. So, we have approximately
1:07 75 days, or we have 11 to 12 weeks. Okay, we have 11 to 12 weeks. So, what should we do during this time to qualify for CUT PG in Bioinformatics and get admission into a good Central University for our MSc? So, first, we've brought you a roadmap to guide you on how to do this. First, understand the exam pattern. Everyone knows that the NTA conducts this exam and it's a computer-based test. It consists of 75 multiple-choice questions, and if you're taking the exam in a single
1:55 domain, meaning biophobics, you'll only have 75 questions from biophobics. You'll have a total of 90 minutes or one and a half hours. The marking scheme is the same. You'll earn four marks for each correct question. and a negative minus one for each incorrect question. Throughout the exam, you'll receive plus four for a correct question and minus one for a negative one. If you fail to attend or skip a question, you'll receive no marks, but no negative marks. Your exam paper will be in both languages, English and Hindi, meaning bilingual.
2:42 You can take the exam in whichever language you're most comfortable with. Okay? Now we'll look at the syllabus. First, to qualify for any exam, you need to know the syllabus. For example, your entire biophysics syllabus is a very extensive one. It's a very extensive syllabus. What does the first part cover? Life and chemical signs. So, what does it cover? It covers your entire DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and metabolic pathways.
3:28 Simply put, this is your biochemistry. Portion. Biochemistry includes biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, protons, and nucleic acids. All of these will be covered, along with their metabolisms, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, and nucleic acid metabolism. Next comes the techniques section, where you'll cover PCR methods, DNA sequencing, gene therapy, and so on. Then, what's included in your third section, virology, immunology, vaccines, and microbes. You'll need to discuss these in detail. Virology means you'll need to learn about viruses. For example, what are the classifications of viruses? Which
4:16 viruses cause viral infections? What types of diseases do they cause? Immunology covers adaptive immunity, cellular mutated immunity, the complement system, hypersensitivity, B cells, and T cells, along with vaccines and microbes. Next comes a portion of math and statistics. In this math and statistics section, you should be well versed in calculus, probability distributions, and algebra. Along with this, you'll also have a background in thermodynamics, NMR, x-rays, and spectroscopy. All these techniques, simply put, this portion you're looking at has two parts.
5:02 One is techniques, the second is math, and the third is statistics. So, math, statistics, and techniques. This is a huge portion for those who will provide bioefficacy. Right? Finally, you'll need to learn computer computational toolkits, C++, and L programming is included in your syllabus. Bioefficacy databases, sequence alignment, gene expression analysis, basically BLAST and FASTA. Then, sequence alignment includes local alignment and global alignment, their algorithms, or how we predict the structure of proteins or nucleic acids. All the prediction
5:47 methods, their file names, and the programming names, all of this is in the last section. So, if we look at your total syllabus, we've divided it into three units. We've divided it into three parts. One is chemical science, which includes biochemistry, techniques, immunology, and biology, all of which are parts of your life sciences. These are all parts of your life sciences or biology. Here you'll cover the entire technique, math, and statistics portion, and here you'll cover core bioefficacies in computer science. So, the syllabus is divided into three phases. The first thing you need to
6:32 do is study the syllabus thoroughly and analyze it. Okay? Now we'll consider the time you have between weeks 11 and 12. Okay? We have time from weeks 11 to 12. So, what should we do during this time? In phase 1, you'll cover foundational science. What should be covered in that? Foundation science means you'll cover your math portion completely. Calculus, algebra, probability, geometry, all of these. And along with this, your chemistry and thermodynamics portion will be included. So, if we look at it for five weeks, you'll complete this in five
7:19 weeks. If we're dividing this portion into three phases, then. In phase one, you'll complete this. This portion is included with it. You'll cover this basic portion here. Then move on to phase two. In phase two, you'll cover your core biology. Why are we completing the math portion first? Because often for biology students, mathematics is a weak portion. So to get a good grasp of mathematics first, start with it from day one, because we don't have more than 12 weeks. We don't have a plan beyond 12 weeks. So, there's just no
8:05 time. So, you have to do everything in 12 weeks. So, first you took the math portion. Then you covered all your biology and technical portions. This includes new biomolecules, metabolism, immunology, viruses, and so on. You can also complete all your technical portions in these sections. Finally, you can cover the core biophysics portion, which includes computer science, language, and core biophysics. So, what do you have to do in total? You have to do it in 12 weeks. So, here we explained the syllabus. Now, divide it into three sections. You've divided it into these three sections. Okay? Next,
8:58 Let's move on to this most common section. Because if you look at this table, you have a total of 8 units of syllabus. That means it's a very large syllabus. Really? This is a huge syllabus. Okay? Yes. So, within such a vast syllabus, you should know what the weighting is. For example, If we look at Unit 1, what is the weighting of Unit 1? They have medium weighting. For example, math, statistics, foundations, probability, and calculus, you don't know much about them. But those who complete these portions will have a good rank because you're sure to get good marks in them. If you know them, you'll be right. There's
9:48 no chance of getting it wrong. Math gets the highest marks. Unit 2 doesn't have a very high weighting. It has a very low weighting. Chemistry doesn't get many questions. The biomaterials portion of chemistry receives a lot of questions, only 4 to 6 out of the entire 75 papers. Then, if we look at the weighting of the next section, for example, in Unit 7, you might get a maximum of 10 questions from programming. But this also determines your rank. Meaning, these two portions, which have fewer seats, will determine your rank. Because BioFET offers very few seats, right? And not all universities offer it. Even if it does, the seats are very limited. So, this portion is modern. I mean,
10:35 sorry, not modern. I mean, it's important, but it doesn't carry much weight, but it can help you increase your rank. Along with this, Unit 4 and Unit 6 are also medium. You must know microbiology and immunology in these. Very little means it's compulsory. which everyone must complete. If you skip this, it means you're attending less than the competition. Everyone will complete this. So, you'll have to do the right thing. Along with that, what will the difficult portion do for you? The mathematical portion or the computer portion, basically. It will set you apart from the rest. Their weighting may be low,
11:22 but it will improve your ranking. And if we consider the high weighting, unit eight is core bioefficacies. That's right, brother. You're taking the bioefficacies exam, which has 15 high IT questions and a very high priority level. Then, biochemistry, molecular biology, these are very basic portions. Every student will complete them. There are 20 to 12 questions in each, and this one, techniques recombinant DNA technology, also has 12 questions. So, just look at the number of questions here. If we look at it, you'll get 36 questions from these three units. And this portion carries a high weighting.
12:11 Meaning, you have to complete it before you even get there. If you look at previous year's papers and carefully examine the PYQs in each of the eight units separately, and examine the number of questions asked from each unit, you'll find a slight variation around this. So, the first step is to prepare for these lectures unit-wise. As you can see, we're skipping the medium and low units. Okay, let's assume you don't have to complete the entire syllabus yet. But focus on the high-weighted
12:57 portions first, because everyone will do them. If there are more questions from these, then the maximum number of students will attempt them, those with higher bio-efficacy scores, and the competition in these will be extremely high. The more knowledge you have, the more factual data you have, the more you can attempt these questions. So, What do you need to do for this? First, you need to complete the syllabus. Then, practice their PYQs. Then, take MCQ practice, MCQs, or mock tests. Not MCQs, but PYQ practice, and you'll have to take mock tests. And you'll have to take mock tests, and you'll have to take mock tests.
13:46 Now, if we look at the rest, for example, this section, like unit 1, covers. Probability calculus or matrix problems. You'll definitely get marks in these. So, those with a good math background will definitely master all of these. This section, too, should be completed. C++, Perl-based algorithms, and all these basic computer tools, These are also very good scoring options. Therefore, these two will determine your rank, as these are the sections that typically have fewer questions, but they will set you apart from others. So, the first step is to
14:35 qualify any exam. So the most important task is to carefully review your syllabus. Analyze it. Complete it. The most important thing is to complete your syllabus. Complete it. Okay? So I hope you understand which topic is of high priority or high weight odds and which one is of low weight odds. Because this is basic biology. In this, you will have to read the portions of basic biology.
15:24 First of all, then you will have to do PYQ for it and then you will have to practice mocks. You will have to practice mocks. So, overall, this is the role for everyone. But focus on the high weightage first. Those who are not good at math will have to take marks from other areas. Those who are not good at these two sections. What should this do? They will have to take marks from here. If, say, someone didn't study this topic. Then. There.
16:29 was a bit of a technical problem. So here's your overall syllabus waiting. Which one should you give higher priority to? Which one should you give lower priority to? But first complete the syllabus because some portions here like the one you see in Unit 6, Spectroscopy Chromatography, don't pose very tough questions. And the chances of getting them right are also very high. Okay? After that, if we look at Unit 2, Unit 2 requires a lot of effort because it's chemistry, thermodynamics doesn't have many questions. So, don't put too much weight
17:19 on just questions 4 to 6. It's simple, you should assign the most weight here. After that, you'll need to assign some weight here. And those who are weak in these two portions will have to accumulate marks from all of these areas. Okay? Now let's see what types of questions are asked here. So, first, match the least, or match the column are the easiest questions and the highest scoring sections. Even if you know one or two questions, you can still complete the matching. There are 12 to 15 matching type questions. So, the most common target is match the
18:07 column. Next comes multi-selection or MCQs. These questions are also the most accurate. They are the most commonly asked. Around 20 to 25 questions are asked. So, how can you do this? To strengthen this section, you need to have your knowledge. First, you'll need to thoroughly read your syllabus. Along with that, there are MCQs. You'll need to apply them and also do PYQs. Only then will you be able to score well here. Now, there will be 8 to 10 numerical questions. Target at least 5 out of 10. If you get 4 or 8, target 4.
18:55 This means you should target 4 to 5 questions here. And most importantly, you get 4 marks for each question. If you get the correct answer, you get 4 marks. If you get a negative answer, you get minus 1. So, if you minus, you'll lose 5 marks at once. So don't do this, do what you know. What we're saying is, do it. This doesn't mean you should get negative marks and come away. This doesn't mean you should get negative marks and come away. Right? Don't do negative questions at all. This also plays a very important role in qualifying or securing a good rank in the exam. Direct theoretical questions carry approximately 20 marks.
19:41 So, you should have good knowledge here too. You should have knowledge here too. There are two or three questions on sequencing and order. These are also fundamentally knowledge-based. Statement evaluation requires both concept and knowledge. Both are essential because these tricky questions are basically tricky questions, those with low marks are tricky questions. What you see here. Those with low marks are actually tricky questions. These are tricky questions. So, the highest priority is this syllabus.
20:26 When you sit for the exam, you will notice this. Not beforehand, but while you are studying, you are studying everything. Okay? So, this is an idea. Now, these numbers can be different. So, these questions will be the ones that will be correct the most. Of these, and this too. And here you need knowledge for this. You need knowledge here too. Here too, you need knowledge, both knowledge and concepts. And for this, you'll only be able to do conceptual numerical work when your concepts are clearly clear. Okay?
21:19 So now we'll come to what we should basically do in these remaining 7, 11, and 12 weeks. So, first of all, Look at your core. In week one, work on the basics of biochemistry and bio-photics. Right? Work on them. Look at their PYQs. Then, you should focus on the highlighted portions of biochemistry and bio-photics. Weeks one and two are explained in such a way that you can target the high-weighted portions. Then, molecular biology and gene therapy techniques are basically the high-weighted portions. Then, come to phase 2. In phase 2, you should cover your computational portion or computer language.
22:09 Microbiology, immunology, biophysics, chemistry, what will be covered in these? Strengthen your analytical part in week 2. Strengthen your analytical part in week 2. And at the same time, you have to take PYQ here too. You have to take PYQ here too. And finally, when the final week comes, revise in that. But how will you revise? You will revise by taking complete full-length mock tests. If you take PYQ, then if we say in an easy way, then in the first week.
22:55 Weak 8 Focus on the portion with high weight odds. Then the Next week, that is, okay, then from week 10 or from 8 to 10 or from 8 to 10, in week 10, send analytical questions and do calculative questions.
23:41 Strengthen your math portion, computer portion, or computational portion. And finally, in the last week, i.e., the 11th week, you'll have to review the full syllabus. Plus a mock test. Full mock means you should take a full length mock test. And one thing that will be compulsory in all these weeks is PYQ. As soon as you study a topic each week, You should prepare a PYQ for that topic. You should have that PYQ
24:30 ready. So, if you still feel confused, like you don't have proper notes or proper guidance, then we have a great offer for that, recorded. C-U-E-T-P-G courses.
