Biology is one of the fundamental subjects that all UP B.Sc. Science Students wishing to pursue a career in Nursing, Agriculture, Biotechnology, or NEET must study. Students must know the entire syllabus and structure of the exam so that they will study with ease and confidence.
This guide contains the date of the exam, the Unit-Based syllabus, the Blueprint, Weightage, and other Necessary Preparatory Tools for 2026.
The UPMSP has officially announced the Biology exam date for 2026. Students should finish major revisions early and use February for practising diagrams and previous year papers.
The UP Board follows the NCERT curriculum consisting of Botany and Zoology modules. The syllabus includes concepts that build the foundation for higher studies in life sciences and medical fields.
Botany covers plant structure, reproduction, biotechnology, and ecology. These chapters form the base for conceptual questions and diagrams in the exam.
Zoology focuses on human physiology, reproduction, immunity, diseases, and interactions of organisms with the environment. These topics appear frequently as short and long answers.
These units carry the most marks in SA-II and long-answer sections. Students should revise them multiple times for maximum accuracy.
The Biology exam consists of both a theory section and a practical component. By knowing how each section of the exam is structured, you will have an idea of how to plan your writing approaches and manage your time throughout the exam experience.
The overall Biology exam will have a maximum score of 100 marks. The minimum passing score for the combined total of both theory and practical exams is 35 marks.
The question paper includes objective, short, and long-answer questions. Diagrams are an essential scoring component in the long-answer section.
