 Introduction
The Biology Question paper of CET would usually
consists of six different types of questions as
described below.
Type-1 :- Positive selection.
Type-2 :- Negative selection.
Type-3 :- Application type.
Type-4 :- Matching related concepts and criteria.
Type-5 :- Diagram based questions.
Type-6 :- Correlation of statements.
 Introduction
In this session, I selected all those possible
types and easy, Moderate & difficult level
questions also taken into consideration
here. Although majority of questions are
relating to theory syllabus and there could
be few questions relating to the practical
syllabus also. Now let us take up
questions.
