  1. Sir, you had decided to adopt CBSE Syllabus advised by NCERT but you should consult with different State Boards conducting 10+2 Course where Human Physiology is the main part of Biology. You shouldn’t include Plant physiology or Botany oriented matters. However main objectives of MCI is excellent

  3. Sir,

    The concept of undertaking the CET is surely a matter of praiseworthy, but the topics included under Physics & Chemistry syllabus seems to be more critical & vast also.Whereas the topics included under Biology syllabus is of very small range excluding the most necessary unavoidable topic of Zoology i.e.THE ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY .Biology is the identity of a medical aspirant which must not exclude even a single part of it,but the opposite has happened.In my view the medical aspirant after being selected in MBBS will never deal with Electronics & Electrical studies rather he will deal with Animal Physiology.What reason made the experts of NCERT to include such unwanted topics is absolutely amazing,because in a very short interval of period how the student will complete such vast syllabus,this is only known to the student.Afterall I would like to request for the complete removal of topics like ELECTRONICS,CURRENT ELECTRICITY,MAGNETISM(PHYSICS) & addition of topic like ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY(ZOOLOGY) with shortening the vastness of Chemistry syllabus.So that the students can be prepared fully without having any overload in mind.Thank You.

    • my friend,
      Physics is always included in the medical entrance syllabus.You told that you need not electricity or chemistry in mbbs.Then how will you understand the mechanism of ECG OR composition of a medicine.But it is sure that human physcioloogy must be included.

    i think it is unfair to gujarati medium students to give exams in english.
    in such a short time they can not familirize with english terminology.
    it gives great advantage for english medium students and it is just unfair for gujarati medium students.
    so please sir kindly think over it and cancel this exam

    our state board course is not enough for this entrance and we have no time to refer any other books. so please sir think over it and cancel this exam.
    we can not do anything except requesting you…
    please sir kindly think over it again.

    • My uncle is a wellknown and one of the best surgeon considered in the city. He studied physiology of frog and botany at higher secondary level in his time. he had no problem in the medical college during his MBBS to understand the anatomy and physiology of human being. so, dear think before you comment on any matter and rethink about the words you use to comment. NCERT is not a foolish body. Yes, I also agree that the human physiology should be there as per the syllabus of CBSE and other boards. However if you study plants, even then you can be a good doctor. Don’t worry you will not become a LOTUSOLOGIST.
