Competitive Examinations are the order of the day. All Colleges conducting professional courses at PG level are admitting students based on common entrance examination, which is of objective type.

The idea of preparing a bioinorganic chemistry textbook was conceived by one of us (IB) at a "Metals in Biology" Gordon Conference in January, 1986. The contributing authors were recruited to the project shortly thereafter. The project evolved as a group effort, with substantial communication among the authors at all stages of planning and execution. Both first and revised drafts of the book were class-tested at UCLA, Caltech, and the University of Wisconsin and modified in response to the reviews of students and teachers. Particularly valuable suggestions were made by Professor Judith N. Burstyn (University of Wisconsin); Ken Addess, Raymond Ro, Kathy Kinnear, Clinton Nishida, Roger Pak, Marlene Sisemore (UCLA); and Deborah Wuttke (Caltech) during the review process. We thank them for their contributions.
