The zoology syllabus varies slightly by program cluster, with 40 questions for MBBS, BDS, BSc Nursing, BASLP, and B Perfusion Technology, and
40 questions for BAMS, BSc MLT, BSc MIT, B Pharm, B Optometry, and BPH.
For BNS(30 question), zoology is likely included in the Basic and Integrated Health Science section, though specific details are limited.
Detailed Unit-Wise Zoology Syllabus
The zoology syllabus for CEE is derived from the Syllabus of NEB( Class 11 and 12 )
Zoology Syllabus for programms MBBS, BDS, BSc Nursing, BASLP, B Perfusion Technology, and
BAMS, BSc MLT, BSc MIT, B Pharm, B Optometry, BPH
Total : 40Questions(each of 1marks)
The Zoology syllabus is divided into six units. following question distribution and detailed topics of zoology:
| Unit | Questions | Topics |
|---|---|---|
| Biology, Origin, and Evolution of Life | 4 | Origin of life: Theories: chemical evolution Oparin-Haldane hypothesis Theories of evolution : Darwinism Lamarckism natural selection. – Evidence of evolution: Fossils homology vestigial organs embryology. |
| General Characteristics and Classification of (Protozoa to Chordata) | 8 | Taxonomic hierarchy: Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Characteristics of major Phylum: Protozoa (e.g., Amoeba, Paramecium), Porifera Coelenterata Platyhelminthes Aschelminthes Annelida Arthropoda Mollusca Echinodermata Chordata. Distinguishing features of each Phylum : Body organization, symmetry, coelom, segmentation |
| Plasmodium, Earthworm, and Frog | 8 | Plasmodium: Life cycle , structure, malaria transmission, public health significance of plasmodium . Earthworm: Anatomy, digestive and reproductive systems, ecological role of earthworm. Frog: Morphology, anatomy (digestive, circulatory, nervous systems), adaptations of frog. |
| Human Biology and Human Diseases | 14 | Human anatomy: Organ systems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, immune). Physiology: Functions of major organs and homeostasis. Diseases: Infectious (e.g., tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS), genetic like sickle cell anemia , lifestyle-related like, diabetes and hypertension. Disease prevention and control: Vaccines, public health measures. |
| Animal Tissues | 4 | Types of AT: Epithelial (squamous, cuboidal, columnar), connective (blood, bone, cartilage), muscular (skeletal, smooth, cardiac), nervous. Structure and functions : Tissue organization, roles in body systems. |
| Environmental Pollution, Adaptation, Animal Behavior, Applied Zoology | 2 | Environmental Pollution: Types (air, water, soil), effects on ecosystems, health impacts. Adaptation: Structural, physiological, behavioral adaptations in animals. Animal Behavior: Ethology, innate and learned behaviors, social behaviors. Applied Zoology: Biotechnology, pest control, conservation, medical applications (e.g., leech therapy). |
Key Focus Areas:
- Human Biology and Diseases: Highest marks (14 marks).
- Study human anatomy like heart, lungs, immune system and
- diseases like : tuberculosis(TB), malaria, and diabetes, emphasizing prevention and more.
- Plasmodium, Earthworm, and Frog: High marks volume (8 marks).
- Focus life cycle of plasmodium and public health impact of malarias , ecological role of earthworms ,anatomical adaptations of frogs and read more.
- Classification: Understand taxonomic hierarchy and distinguishing different features of phylum (8 marks ) which is very important.
Zoology Syllabus for BNS
For the Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNS) (30 questions), which covers applied sciences relevant to nursing. Potential zoology topics include:
- Basic human anatomy and physiology including circulatory system, respiratory systems ,etc.
- Common diseases like infectious diseases (TB),etc.
- Basic microbiology and parasitology topics like Plasmodium, bacteria.
Due to the lack of specific details, BNS candidates should assume a simplified version of the zoology.

Why Zoology Matters for CEE Entrance Exam ?
- Relevance to Healthcare : Zoology provides foundational knowledge ,understanding human biology, human diseases, and human public health, These topics are very important for programs like MBBS, BDS, and BPH.
- Competitive Edge (High Marks Syllabus) :especially in high-marks volume units like Human Biology, can boost overall scores, improving merit list rankings for cee candidates.
- Global Opportunities : Masters in zoology supports careers in medicine, nursing, public health, and research, both in Nepal and internationally.
Eligibility Criteria . view
To be eligible for MECEE BL 2025, candidates must meet the following:
- 10+2 Science (Biology student) :
- Proficiency Certificate Level (PCL): At least 50% aggregate and registration .
- A-Level or Equivalent: Percentage equivalent to 50% in PCB. With an equivalence certificate for Nepalese students.

Conclusion
The zoology syllabus for CEE is consistent across most health professional programs, with 40 questions.
And secure admission to top health professional programs.
- Exam Mode: Paper-based
- Purpose of Cee : Assesses foundational knowledge in physics and other subjects for admission to health professional programs.
Preparation Strategies for cee entrance exam
- Prioritize High-marks – volume Units: Like focus on Human Biology (14 questions), Cell Biology and Genetics (12 questions), Organic Chemistry (15 questions), and Mechanics ( 9 questions).
- Focus for specific program : Study PCL-level content for different program like: Ayurvedic principles for BAMS, pharmaceutics for B Pharm .
- Practice MCQs: practice maximum questions and past MECEE BL papers, also give mock tests from different platforms which helps to improve your exam patterns.
- Time Management: Time Management is most important thing for MECEE exam . Practice solving 200 questions in 3 hours (~1 minute per question).
- Recommended Resources(OPTIONAL not mentioned):
- Mainly your +2 books
- Coaching: Institutes in Kathmandu for MECEE BL preparation courses .Fees: NPR 15,000–35,000 for 3–6 months.
