This is a great step toward aligning GATE with modern biotechnology. However, it also raises an important question: Have universities updated their biotechnology syllabus as well? Are students actually learning topics like CRISPR, genomics, NGS and epigenetics in their classrooms or are they expected to study them independently while preparing for GATE? @subhamahes98
