Biotechnology is a application which  is very vast and it satisfy the need of industrial sector such as food and beverages industry , textiles industry , medicines etc and on the other hand it may also satisfy the need of agriculture , nutrition , animal and husbandry etc. However , this branch of science along with biology fully understand diverse subjects like physics , chemistry and mathematics and the students are showing great curiosity in this as the technical and procedural application of bio-technology reach vast region of disciplines and to take up biotechnology as a career one must have sound knowledge in science and also one must have general aptitude for science and scientific applications and this branch have been making balanced progress i.e according to a survey India is suppose to become an international focal point for the biotechnology development.

In this article  , I am going to give you the information about Reference books for GATE of Biotechnology.

SYLLABUS FOR GATE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Although Gate syllabus for Biotechnology has been created but we advice students preparing for Gate 2015 to confirm syllabus once again with us by mailing at mail@oureducation.in , because by time you might have started preparing , little change in syllabus would have come. While mailing your requirements , mail your contact details as well with credentials of your graduation , so that we may be in position to guide you better for GATE exams.
