GATE Life Sciences (XL) has remained a well attended examination with a good (long) history behind it. A lot of Biology/Biotech/Life Sciences students appear for it every year, apart from the recently (2010) introduced GATE BT (Biotechnology). One can find sufficient number of previous year papers for GATE XL from various online archives. Here’s an attempt to supplement that information […]
My Examination Centre? I was in the 7th semester of my B.Tech Biotechnology course at Lovely Professional University, Punjab when I filled the application form for GATE BT 2011 in October 2010. The exam was scheduled for February 13, 2011 (Sunday). No body knew that I was going to apply for GATE BT 2011 (no one actually expected me to […]
Why Did I Appear for it? There are people who ask me, “Hey, why did you appear for GATE 2011 having already cleared GATE 2010 with over 99 percentile!?” (Read here) . My answer has always been that “I wanted to do a self check. I wanted to be sure that what I had accomplished in 2010 wasn’t a strike […]

If one goes through the syllabus mentioned for GATE Biotech, I’m sure he/she will get a burden of his life (especially if he/she has decided to prepare for GATE BT just 3-4 months before the scheduled day of exam). Let’s lighten that burden a bit 🙂 Here’s a list of some ‘very’ crucial topics which should be on your high […]
I have always received queries regarding the important subjects and books I followed during my B.Tech (and for GATE Biotech preparation). Thought to use BiotechStudents.com as a platform to share the info for one and all. Hope this information might prove helpful to all of you. I’ll start with the subject that almost invariably constitutes a common data question: […]
The Unnecessary Fear I have had a good experience of interacting with a lot of GATE aspirants. Well more important than that, I myself have experienced a lot about GATE Biotech (BT), being an aspirant once. And, very frankly (I’m sure, each of you will agree to this), what I once felt, and what I have always observed is that, […]
Time management is one of the most sought after but yet a trait that has never been achieved to perfection. It’s said that “Time starts getting wasted, the moment a person follows an unguided or blindfolded path.” Time management can best be observed in a “Clock” itself. A clock always spends just the right amount of time on every number […]
4 years back, in October 2010, I filled the application form for the coveted GATE exam in Biotechnology. It was the 1st ever time that Biotechnology as a subject came into foray in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) exam. Prior to 2010, GATE BT never existed, and there was only a section of Biotechnology in GATE Life Sciences (i.e […]
