Along with these books must solve previous years question papers and model test papers to examine your preparation.
hey!
Biochemistry: Stryer
Cell biology: Lodish
Molecular biology: Watson
Plant physiology: Taiz
Ecology: Peter Stiling
Developmental Biology: Gilbert
Genetics: Pierce
Techniques: Any cell and molecular biology or biochemistry texts or if you have time and patience go for Wilson and Walker
Genetic engineering: Primrose, anyway this area isn't so important.
Additionally, Kuby immunology and Ananthanarayana or Prescott microbiology can be read but these are not high scoring areas.
Further, studying biochemistry and cell biology is only for getting the basic idea. If you are clear with the basic things selective study is only required. The key is Watson, Taiz, Stiling and Gilbert. Questions are directly asked from these texts, in fact, the same line is taken and asked. So stick on to the regularly asked areas in these books and revise them properly.
