How To Prepare For CEEB 2019?

As per some of the ex-students, no special preparation is required to qualify for CEEB 2019. But, this time as NTA is responsible for conducting this exam, there may be some changes in the difficulty level. But students are advised to keep their basic concepts clear Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. A candidate can prepare the Biology part from Lehnengers biochemistry, Watson’s molecular biology, pathfinder books, Albert for cell Biology and their under graduation books, diligently.

For M.Sc entrance exam, a candidate is advised to prepare all the important topics of the B.Sc. level. Be it of theory or practical. Make sure to cover Biochemistry + Biophysics, Molecular biology, Microbiology, Cell biology and Immunology. Other than, these 2 students shared tips, a candidate needs to :

• Prepare a time table and follow it religiously.
• Make Notes for last minute revisions
• Consult only authentic sources
• Practice more of sample papers, mock tests and previous year papers.
• Stay Confident and take care of your health.
