ReplyDeleteThanx 4 writing to us.
Problem is it is difficult to predict the syllabus. That is the reason we have asked for help for the syllabus in helpBIOTECH. Those who already already qualified DBT JRF should give some input on this.
We have already left some info on Syllabus at helpBIOTECH.
Until then, u have to wait. If any thing comes up, we always post it in helpBIOTECH.
Hope u guys can understand.
