🎬 Crack 5 Exams with 1 Plan! | GATE BT, XL, JAM, GAT-B, CUET PG Syllabus Decoded

0:00 Hey everyone, welcome to Unfilter IT. So today in this video, we will talk about GATE BT as well as GATE XL. I have done many multiple videos on GAT-B , CUET PG, as well as IIT JAM. So, their syllabus coincides quite a lot. And I am specifically bored of repeating the same syllabus. So today, I will tell you a particular system so that if you want to prepare for any such exam, you know which systems to follow. A quick announcement before we actually start the video. Many of you have been texting me on Instagram and LinkedIn, saying, "Sir, please take our counseling." And, "Please sir, come on a call." But look, it won't be possible for everyone. If I do it for one student for free. Then I have to do it for everyone. Right? So that wouldn't be morally or time-wise right for me. If you want to have such a session with me, you can book it at the. com. It gives you and me the flexibility so that we can come to a particular

0:46 platform and discuss certain things. If you need guidance for IIT, GATE B, CUET PG, or have any career-related doubts, we can take them there. If you book a session, it gives flexibility and priority so that I can listen to your problems and offer solutions or guide you toward them. It saves both of our time and effort. The second thing is, if you want any free study material or anything similar, you can go to the. com. There will be a newsletter box at the very end of the page. You can enter your email ID there. And I am going to personally send you some free stuff. So do subscribe. When we look at the syllabus for IIT JAM, GAT-B, CUET PG, or GATE BT/XL, the most common part is biology, and in every subject, it's the same. So, I have made videos regarding CUET PG. I have made videos regarding GAT-B. I have done multiple videos

1:32 regarding IIT JAM. Right? So, repeating the same thing for GATE BT and GATE XL is becoming a bit boring for me. Right? So, if you want to complete any such syllabus thoroughly, first identify which topics are being asked in which specific part, and you will master that subject forever, right? So, for example , biochemistry is a subject that is being asked in your IIT exam. It is being asked in your CUET PG. It is being asked in GAT-B, GATE XL, as well as GATE BT. Right? So this is the common portion for all. So if you cover this once, you will have covered it for all these subjects at once. Okay? And then comes general biology, which includes microbiology, biotech, and all those parts. So all of this is asked in that. But the subjects that mostly differ are maths, chemistry, as well as physics. Right? Now, for subjects like GAT-B and IIT JAM, physics is asked there. Right? So if you study physics,

2:19 you will easily cover two subjects there. Right? But chemistry is specifically asked in GATE XL, as well as your IIT JAM, and even GAT-B. If you study chemistry, you will cover it very easily for these three exams. Maths is not asked in every exam. It is asked in your IIT exam as well as in your GATE BT. Right? So if you have studied that particular subject once, you are flexible for these two exams. So this video will also be specifically for those MSc students who are very afraid of maths and do not take GATE BT as a subject. They only take GATE XL. Now understand one thing, the syllabus of GATE BT and GATE XL does not differ much. You just get scared by seeing the maths. So I am going to provide you with an efficient syllabus. Which, if you cover it, You will be able to cover 40 to 60%of the paper just by doing biology. You do not even need to study maths. You do not even need to do general aptitude. If you just do

3:04 biology, you will cover 40 to 60%of the syllabus very easily. And in GATE BT, GAT-B, or IIT JAM, in any such exam, if you score 50%of the marks, meaning if you get 150 out of a 300-mark paper, then you will efficiently have a seat in any given scenario. Okay? So, in the same way, GATE, GATE XL, and GATE BT come as 100-mark papers. You don't have enough confidence in yourself that you can't even score 50 marks. So at least have enough confidence that just based on biology, you will be able to cover 50%, and we are going to complement the rest with other subjects. Okay? So we will start with biology. Because biology is our strongest point. And if we study any subject according to our strengths, it is going to give us much more flexibility and much more discipline. Because otherwise, it will happen that if you pick a topic you

3:50 have no idea about. And if you start studying it, you will either develop an interest if you can understand it. If you don't develop an interest and you can't understand it at all. Then you are going to leave your studies, and it happens. You have more than six months left, and I think you can nail this GATE BTE, IIT JAM, or any other exam. Okay? So let's start with General Biology now. The most important subject to cover is Biochemistry. I have repeated it so many times. But doing Biochemistry is most important. Even if we put biology completely aside. The Biochemistry part within it covers 20 to 40%of every subject. Meaning if you just study that one subject, you will easily cover 20 to 40%. And also, I have started my Biochemistry classes on Dishu Classes. So you can watch that. The link will be in the description as well as on the channel homepage. Okay? So now, specifically talking about

4:35 Biochemistry in General Biology, it is most important to study biomolecules, which include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, as well as nucleic acids and their metabolism. It is important for you to study this because questions are always asked from here in MCQs and MSQs . Okay? And the third important thing is that it is very important for you to do vitamins. And in vitamins, you should know the function of each particular vitamin. And if that function is not fulfilled, what particular disease it causes. Questions from here are guaranteed. Look at the question papers from the last five years. Look at the papers from the last 10 years. Questions from vitamins only come from here. Right? The second thing you need to have is action potential. Now, you don't need to study the entire action potential. You just need to know how much action potential is inside the cell. How much action potential is outside the cell. Right? So, you should know the voltage differences because the questions that arise from here are

5:21 only based on MCQs and are worth one or two marks. Right? The second thing is you need to cover photosynthesis, respiration, and the electron transport chain. And you should know about the inhibitors of the electron transport chain. Direct MCQ-level questions are formed from here. Okay? So, Section A is always MCQ-focused. And I guess there are 30 questions in it. If you manage to nail even 25 questions out of the 30 in GATE very well. You will be able to clear this GATE BT or GATE XL exam very efficiently. Okay. And when we talk about the enzyme part in biochemistry, it is very important to do the Michaelis-Menten equation. And this will coincide with our Section 4 and Section 5 of bioprocess engineering . If you have done the Michaelis-Menten equation once in biochemistry. Many people are afraid of bioprocess engineering because it involves a lot of numericals. Right? And I know that if you haven't found good teachers, you

6:08 will be very afraid of math. In the future, I will try to bring some tutorials that will make bioprocess engineering easy for you. But for now, you have to cover this Michaelis-Menten equation, enzyme inhibition, which includes the competitive, uncompetitive , and non-competitive parts, and let me tell you, I challenge you, questions have always come from here and will always come because this is very fundamental to biochemistry. Okay? If they don't pick this part from biochemistry, they will pick it from section four or five. You can open the GATE BT syllabus simultaneously. Similar questions are asked there as well. Okay? So do that. Now, when we talk about microbiology, first of all, you should know about the differences between microorganisms, like what is the difference between bacteria and mycoplasma? What is the difference in fungi? What is the difference in viruses? What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? So, you must know the basic differences here. Right? And the second thing is microbial growth and its functions

6:54 regarding the log curve we have, right? Lag, log, saturation, and death phases; questions will always be formed from there. And this will always appear in the numerical section. Because your microbial growth is always asked in the numerical section. And the same thing coincides with your bioprocess engineering. So that's why I am comparing Section 2 and Sections 4 and 5. Okay? So this is again the system because I have coincided the two of the syllabus. Right? The variant for every subject, whether it's general biology. Later we will talk about animal biotechnology. We will talk about genetics. Wherever a disease is mentioned, study that thing. Study which particular thing is causing which disease. So for example, this particular bacteria is causing phenylketonuria or this particular virus is causing HIV. Ebola is happening. Whatever, right? You should know these things because a lot of questions are asked about mutation, mutagenesis, and diseases. Right? So

7:40 when it comes to the microbial system, you should know about microbial diseases. You should know about host-pathogen interaction. And the mistake most students make is that they study this syllabus as if they have to give a written exam. This is not a written exam. This is MCQ and MSQ based . You need to fire up your basics. Right? Sharpen your basics so that if you are asked any question. You will be able to give that answer much more efficiently. Your aptitude is being tested here. It's not testing your reasoning ability on how quickly you can answer. Okay? How big a paragraph you can write. You don't have to write a paragraph. Your aim is to clear MCQs, MSQs, and NAT. Keep this in mind. Okay? So focus your study accordingly. Okay? You should know about antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance. And what their functions are. Okay? You should

8:25 know about this. And when we talk about immunology, you should know about innate and adaptive immunity. You should know what the structures of antibodies are, what the function of each particular antibody is, and where they are found. Hypersensitivity is a significant topic for all of the exams. Right? And very basic questions about T and B cell formation come from this. So you must at least nail this. And I have already told you about diseases. Right? That which particular thing causes which disease, so those questions can come from anywhere. When we talk about genetics, you should pick up the 12 th-grade book. You need to cover all the genetics given in it. You will be good to go. Trust me when I say this, because the pedigree charts, Mendelian inheritance, codominance, and incomplete dominance. So, all these questions are appearing directly in your GATE BT and GATE XL exams. You don’t even need to pick up any extra books to study them. Okay? And the other thing you need to do is

9:11 population genetics. I have covered it so many times that from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, NAT-type questions are always asked, like if the frequency of population A or gene A is this much and gene B is this much, then what will the result be? So, these kinds of questions . Okay? Now, when we talk about cell biology, these questions always come as MCQs, and they also come from the cell cycle, with cell death and autophagy being the main sources of questions. So , it is very important to cover this in cell biology. I have already told you about cell structure; you should know the differences between cells, like in microorganisms. Also, you should know about cell death and autophagy, and what the role of autophagy is. If you look at the previous years 'question papers. There are many questions regarding autophagy, like what is cell apoptosis? What is cell death? Or what is autophagy? So, the basic differences between these are asked. You don’t

9:57 need to study them in great depth. But you should know their basic differences . And when we talk about molecular biology. In molecular biology, again, you must know about transcription, replication, and translation. But in transcription, you should also know about RNA splicing, as questions always arise from there. And also, there are different types of RNAs that you should know about. Which particular RNA has which function. Direct questions will always come from here. Okay? And the linkage and inheritance part is also covered in this. So, you should also know which types of chromosomes exist. What is the function of the centromere? What is the function of the telomere? Very basic, very normal questions come from here. So, it is very important for you to study this. Okay? Now, when we talk, I will first discuss Section 6 and Section 7. I will discuss Section 4 , 5, and Section 1, which is mathematics, at the very end. Why? Because Section 6 is our Plant Biotech.

10:43 Right? And the number of marks the questions from Plant Biotech carry are mostly two or three marks. If you even skip Plant Biotech and Animal Biotech, you are skipping six or seven marks, but I wouldn't recommend it because the questions that come from here are very basic and very easy. Right? So, in Plant Biotech, you will be asked about cell and tissue preservation. You will be asked about potency. You will be asked about cell regeneration. In the case of plants, what are the secondary metabolites? And what is the function of secondary metabolites? These are usually for protection that you must know about. If you have done just this much, you are good to go with Plant Biotech. You don't need to study it in great depth at all. Because the actual syllabus we are taught for Plant Biotech and Animal Biotech is very vast . But if you filter it down from the exam point of view, not many questions can be formed from there. And the questions that will be formed are based on MCQs. Okay? In Animal Biotech, what

11:30 you need to do is know about hybridoma, knockout, and knock-in animals, and you should know the difference between knockout and knock-in. Alright? If you have done this much, you are good to go . And also from Animal Biotech, the stem cell part is asked, like the Yamanaka factors, so questions are formed directly from there, such as which ones are your Yamanaka factors. Although this doesn't come every year. Every year, the questions that are formed are from your hybridoma, knockout, knock-in, and these only. If you want, you can nail this part as well. Now we will talk about section seven, and also the molecular tools we have in the fourth and fifth sections. If you look at the molecular tools in section four, you are basically given chromatography, where you have differences between types of chromatography. Like what is hydrophobic interaction chromatography, what is your paper chromatography? What is your size exclusion or gel filtration chromatography? The questions from here will always be

12:16 direct, and questions will definitely come from here. Right? If questions don't come from here. Questions will come from your UV spectroscopy. Questions will come from your spectrometry. FTIR, NMR—questions will always be formed from here. So, covering spectroscopy is important. Because from these tools, direct questions are always formed for four or five marks. Which also includes your PCR. You are also asked questions about Northern, Southern, and Western blotting regarding which blot is used for the identification of a specific thing. Right? So then there are questions for DNA fingerprinting, site-directed mutagenesis, as well as gene transfer. Also, microscopy is important for you because direct questions are formed from electron microscope, fluorescence, and confocal here. But the maximum number of questions that are formed for you is from electron microscopy. So it is very important for you to cover this part. For chromatography, a hint I can give you is that you should have some idea about the matrix used in all the

13:01 chromatographies because questions are directly formed from the matrix or their principles. Okay? So things will be formed from these two only. And what is their function? That you must know. If you understand the principle, you will be able to derive anything. And the second thing that you need to remember is the matrix. If you have covered just this much part, you are good to go with these techniques. Regarding the computational tools given in your section seven, whether you are studying them today or at the very end, I would say just remove that particular part from your syllabus preparation because only a one-mark question is formed from there, and the syllabus includes like 101 topics which are not even essential. If you start studying bioinformatics, either you will mess up your brain or you will mess up your paper; these are the only two options. Okay? So, just remove that thing. Okay? Now I will talk about which topics are important in section four, which is

13:48 your bioprocesses and whatever the other name is, right? Now, the important part in section four is material and energy balance. Questions will always be formed from here. Okay? Stoichiometry, degree of reduction, theoretical oxygen demand, oxygen requirement, and the KLa. The questions that are formed from here are from 8 to 15 marks. Okay? That is why it is important to do this part. In the future, I will bring up videos on how to solve these questions. These questions, like if you have heard them now, it is because you probably haven't studied these subjects since these subjects are not taught in MSc. Right? A student who has done B.Tech will have some idea. But I will bring tricks and tips for these. And these are very easy topics. If you understand them once. Right? And for section five, what you need to do is section five and section one, which is biochemistry; if you’ve done the Michaelis-Menten equation once , you are good to go. And if you can

14:33 read a little bit about continuous, batch, and fed-batch processes, then you will be good to go. If you cannot do that, you can skip that particular part. Because not many questions are asked from there compared to these specific topics I have given you. Right ? Now, when we talk about section one, that is mathematics. I know many people are afraid of it. The three specific subjects given there are linear algebra , calculus, and differential equations. If you can do these three, you are good to go with both GATE BT as well as GATE XL. And as for GATE XL, chemistry is asked separately. I have already covered that in my IIT exam part. So, GATE XL students, please go watch that video because I don't want to repeat it . Because chemistry is always asked. Your organic basics will always be asked, like if you oxidize alcohol, it will form carboxylic acid. Not carboxylic, if you oxidize alcohol, it will form aldehyde. If you oxidize aldehyde, it will form carboxylic acid.

15:18 So, if you over-oxidize the alcohol, only then do you get carboxylic acid. Right? So, these are the very basic questions that arise from organic. When we talk about inorganic, the questions you get will come from physical chemistry. Which includes your 3D transition elements. You have electrochemistry, like this particular cell has this much E-naught. So, what will be its E-naught cell? So, questions like this. Okay? So, you only need to prepare that much. And you are good to go with any kind of chemistry. Also, sometimes they ask things like, in a particular reaction happening, if we add zinc, will it push the reaction forward or reverse it? So, questions like that. If you can do this much, then it is well and good. If you, if you do as much as I have told you in this video, then you will be able to clear the GATE BT, GATE XL, GATE B, IIT exam, any exam I am saying, okay! So, you have to complete this part. Complete at least biology and you will be good to go. And if this video helps,

16:05 then do like as well as comment. Thank you.
