• Biology in Human Welfare: Human health and diseases (common infectious and non-infectious conditions), immunity, and microbes in human welfare.
• Biotechnology: Principles, processes, and real-world applications in medicine and agriculture.
• Ecology & Environment: Organisms and populations, ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation strategies.

⚡ Physics

• Mechanics & Properties of Matter: Kinetic and static friction, work, power, and energy, elastic collisions, potential energy of a spring, rotational motion of rigid bodies, and moment of inertia.
• Electrostatics & Current Electricity: Coulomb’s law, electric field and potential due to a point charge, Gauss’s law, electric dipole, current electricity, Ohm’s law, and Kirchhoff’s laws.
• Magnetism & EMI: Moving charges and magnetism, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction (EMI), Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws, self and mutual inductance, and alternating current (AC) circuits.
• Optics & Modern Physics: Reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, curved mirrors, lenses, wave optics (interference, Young’s double-slit experiment), photoelectric effect (Einstein’s equation), atoms, and nuclei.
• Semiconductor Electronics: Materials, basic junctions, diode characteristics, and simple circuits.

🧪 Chemistry

• Physical Chemistry: Structure of atom (Bohr’s model, quantum numbers, Aufbau principle), chemical bonding (ionic, covalent, coordinate bonds, hybridization, VSEPR theory), solid state (crystal lattices, unit cells, point defects), solutions, electrochemistry, and chemical kinetics (rate of reaction, Arrhenius equation).
• Inorganic Chemistry: Comparative study of elements (Alkali metals, Alkaline earth metals, Nitrogen family, Oxygen family, Halogens, Noble gases), transition metals (3d series configuration, properties, KMnO_4, K_2Cr_2O_7), and coordination compounds (Werner’s theory, nomenclature, isomerism).
• Organic Chemistry & Biomolecules: Haloalkanes, Haloarenes, Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids, and Amines (preparation, nomenclature, and chemical properties). Biomolecules section heavily emphasizes carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and nucleic acids.

🇬🇧 General English

• Reading Comprehension: Passages followed by factual and vocabulary-based questions.
• Vocabulary: Synonyms, antonyms, word formation, prefixes, and suffixes.
• Grammar Rules: Articles and determiners, subject-verb agreement, tenses and time, prepositions, phrasal verbs, and modal auxiliaries.
• Sentence Transformation: Active and passive voice, direct and indirect speech (narration), degrees of comparison, and identifying structural errors.
• Note: British spelling conventions are followed for error detection.

🗺️ General Knowledge

• Madhya Pradesh GK: History, geography, political system, and economic development specifically tracking the state of MP.
• National & International Events: Daily current affairs, major global developments, and national schemes.
• Polity & Economy: Indian Constitution, Panchayati Raj, fundamental rights, sustainable development, and social sector initiatives.
• Environment & Culture: General issues on environmental ecology, climate change, Indian national movement history, and prominent sports events.

📊 Exam Pattern Summary

Tip: Since there is no negative marking, ensure you attempt all questions. Focus on Biology first to save time for numericals in Physics and Chemistry.
