A Great teacher is required to be a great learner with ability to synthesize and integrate
knowledge. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has entrusted the
responsibility of conducting CSIR-UGC NET in CBT Mode to NTA. CSIR � UGC is national level
test conducted twice a year (June & December) to determine the eligibility for Junior Research
Fellowship (JRF) and for Lectureship (LS)/ Assistant Professorship� in Indian Universities and
Colleges.
UGC CSIR NET/SET (JRF & LS) Life Sciences is a�well formulated�combination of easy
learning techniques and practice problems containing all the necessary tools and techniques
which assure your success. The entire syllabus of this revised edition has been divided under
13 units giving a complete Chapterwise theory of syllabus accommodated with all the recent
changes. In addition to the theoretical portion the book also concentrates on the practical part
by providing Previous Years� Solved Papers, which are designed according to the pattern
suggested by the council. Questions provided in the book for practice give an idea of the level
examinations that have been conducted and moreover they help to track the level of preparation
is done by the candidates. Packed with Detailed theory and Latest Pattern MCQs for the page,
this book makes a systematic ladder to success in CSIR � UGC NET/SET.
