Looking at the UP TGT Biology paper of 2021 and earlier exams, a clear pattern can be seen in the type of questions asked. The overall level of the paper was moderate to difficult, and candidates who attempted around 100–105 questions correctly were considered to be in a safe zone.

Major Question Areas (Based on 2021 & Past Trends)

•Cell Biology – Questions like plant cell structure, lodicule, and biomolecules are regularly asked.

•Ecology – Topics such as food cycle, food web, and ecosystem-related questions are frequent.

•Plant Physiology – Red drop effect, photosynthesis, and plant growth hormones are popular areas.

•Human Biology & Anatomy – Endoskeletal structures and reproductive biology concepts appear in almost every paper.

•Diversity & Evolution – Theories of species and classification-based questions are often included.

•Applied Biology – Soil types, wood classification, and practical concepts also find place in the paper.

Key Observations

1.NCERT-Based Questions – A large portion of questions come directly from NCERT Biology of Classes 11 and 12.

2.Concept + Memory Mix – Some questions test basic recall (like definitions), while others are application-based (like physiological processes).

3.Balanced Coverage – The paper doesn’t focus on just one unit; it spreads across Cell Biology, Physiology, Ecology, Genetics, and Applied Biology.

4.Scoring Strategy – Since there is no negative marking, attempting all questions gives candidates a scoring advantage.
