XL- Q to U (Biochemistry, Botany, Microbiology, Zoology, Food Technology).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThat means, along with the GA segment, there are six more segments in the syllabus of Life Sciences. Out of these six segments, the first segment is P which includes Chemistry. The other 5 segments are Biochemistry (XL-Q), Botany (XL-R), Microbiology (XL-S), Zoology (XL-T), and Food Technology (XL-U).<\/p>\n
Among the five segments, applicants can select any two.<\/p>\n
