Why Biology decides NEET
Half the paper. Half the marks.
NEET has 180 questions worth 720 marks. Biology alone is 90 questions and 360 marks, as much as Physics and Chemistry together. We teach it as two subjects, Botany and Zoology, each with its own specialist.
The founders
One teacher for Botany. One for Zoology.
Zoology
Dr. Adwet Harsora
MBBS (Mumbai), IPGP in Diabetes Management · Teaching since 2003
A medical doctor (practising diabetologist) who chose the classroom. Over 23 years he has guided more than 12,000 students, with a simple rule: don't just learn, understand.
New batches for Std. XI begin every April.
About us
Biology, taught by specialists.
Genesis Biology Tutorials is a NEET Biology institute in Mulund West, Mumbai. It is run by two teachers who split the subject the way the exam does: Botany and Zoology. Every lecture, every module and every test is prepared and taught by them.
How we teach
Concepts before memory
The focus is in-depth concept explanation, not rote learning. Each topic is built from the basics so it stays with the student.
What we teach from
NCERT, line by line
Strict adherence to the NCERT textbook and NEET syllabus. Every single line is explained, because NEET questions come from those lines.
Who we teach
Students we know by name
With 30 students in a batch, the directors know each student's weak chapters and plan around them.
Co-founder · Botany
Prof. Nayan Khanolkar
Prof. Khanolkar is a distinguished academician with a deep passion for Botany. A university topper at both the graduate and postgraduate levels, he holds an M.Sc. in Botany from the University of Mumbai and has a strong background in scientific research, with papers published in leading journals.
He has guided medical aspirants since 1998. His teaching begins with a strong foundation from the basics, so students understand a topic before they practise it, and he is known for making even the most complex “green” chapters vibrant and colourful. Students often say Botany went from their most dreaded subject to their favourite.

Co-founder · Zoology
Dr. Adwet Harsora
Dr. Harsora is a medical doctor (practising diabetologist) and an educator with over 23 years of experience teaching Biology to medical aspirants. He began teaching in his second year of medical school and, after his MBBS in 2007, chose to devote his career to shaping the futures of young students. He has since guided more than 12,000 students.
He was among the first to bring audio-visual presentations into classroom coaching, back in 2005. His lessons build a deep understanding of Biology rather than relying on memorisation, and his medical training brings human physiology to life for students who want to become doctors themselves.
Don't just learn. Understand.

Why us?
Fewer students. More attention.
Large coaching classes are built for scale. GBT is built around the student in the room: a batch small enough for one-to-one doubt solving, taught by the people who wrote the material.
