After very high demand from our students, VedPrep is here with the updated syllabus of CUET PG Botany. This blog will cover the new syllabus of CUET PG Botany and will also cover some of the best books to buy for flawless preparation.

Syllabus: CUET PG Botany

The CUET PG Botany syllabus vanished from the NTA website which created havoc among the students leaving them concerned that NTA was changing the syllabus overnight. Thankfully, that was nothing but a server issue but just in case our students are still confused about the syllabus, we are here to discuss it once again.
