Part A was easy from a conceptual perspective. Calculation based questions were a bit time consuming.
Part B was of moderate difficulty and questions asked were from the prescribed syllabus.
Part C was the most challenging section as it consists of analytical and application based questions.
Overall the whole paper was manageable.

Questions from molecular biology asked were from transcription, m RNA processing etc.

Questions asked from Plant Physio were more and were simple. Ecology was also asked more. General Aptitude asked in the examination was moderate. Molecular Biology questions were also asked. 

As per the feedback received from the students, todays Life Science exam overall difficulty level is Moderate.
