India's population growth rate fell from 2.2% to 1.7% per annum through sustained promotion of contraception, but the sheer size of the population base means even this slower rate adds enormous absolute numbers each year, making population stabilization a public health priority alongside individual family planning. An ideal contraceptive should be user-friendly, effective, reversible,

1. Population and birth control methods
Exam focus: Among all these methods, only barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms) double as protection against sexually transmitted infections — IUDs and hormonal pills prevent pregnancy but offer no protection against infection, which is the distinction NEET's "which method also prevents STDs" questions are built around. Oral contraceptive pills themselves work mainly by inhibiting ovulation, through their effect on the pituitary's FSH-LH balance.

2. MTP, STDs and infertility; ART
Exam focus: NCERT is specific that most STDs are curable if caught early — hepatitis-B, genital herpes and HIV are the three named exceptions, which is how NEET phrases a "which of these is NOT curable" question. In ART, embryos up to the 8-celled stage are transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT); only later embryos, past 8 cells, go into the uterus (IUT) — the cell-count cutoff, not just the destination, is what these questions check.

BotanyNEET 2025show ▾What are the potential drawbacks in the adoption of the IVF method?
A. High fatality risk to the mother
B. Expensive instruments and reagents
C. Husband/wife necessary for being donors
D. Less adoption of orphans
E. Not available in India
F. Possibility that the early embryo does not survive
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A.B, D, F only✓
- B.A, C, D, F only
- C.A, B, C, D only
- D.A, B, C, E, F only
Solution
IVF is expensive (B), needs sophisticated instruments, may reduce the adoption of orphans (D), and the early embryo transferred may fail to survive (F). It carries no high fatality risk to the mother, the gametes need not come from husband and wife, and it is available in India. Hence B, D and F.
