The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has assigned the responsibility of conducting CSIR- UGC NET in CBT mode to NTA. CSIR-UGC test is conducted twice a year (June & September) to determine the eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and for Lecturership in Indian colleges and universities.

“CSIR UGC NET/SET Life Sciences” is a well-defined combination of easy learning techniques and practice problems. The book is structured with a discussion of important topics of Biology at the beginning of each chapter, supported with Practice Questions. It comprises all the necessary tools & techniques to ensure sure shot success in the exam. Apart from the theoretical concepts, it also gives good practical exposure to the students. This book features:

Chapterwise coverage of revised syllabus
Divided into 13 units and 45 chapters
Detailed theories in an easy language
Latest Question Paper to give insights
Designed as per the latest examination pattern
Sufficient amount of multiple choice and subjective type questions
