The IIT JAM Biotechnology Syllabus 2023 is made up of Biology (44% weightage), Chemistry (20% weightage), Mathematics (18% weightage) and Physics (18% weightage). The questions are objective type. A wrong answer receives a negative marking of one-third. The Biology and Chemistry syllabus is based on graduation level topics, while physics and mathematics syllabus is based on 10+2 level of topics. Lets take a look at the syllabus of all the four parts of Biotechnology.
