A Textbook of Biology (Class XI)  (English, Paperback, BASE)

A Textbook of Biology is based on the National Core Curriculum in Science and Mathematics. The objective of the National Core Curriculum framework approved by COBSE (Council of Boards of School Education) is to introduce uniform learning content at the senior secondary level. It is envisaged to set a level-playing field for all the students of our country. This measure will ensure a good competition amongst students of different regions to fare well at the National Entrance Tests such as ISEET, IIT-JEE, AIEEE, NEET, etc. The delineated syllabus represents a quantum jump from learning experience at school to what is expected at the senior secondary level.

The book deals with the content keeping logical development in mind. The language is lucid and simple. Its rich pedagogy will help students better their understanding and application of subject matter.

• Uses the right mix of pedagogy to help students go through and comprehend complex concepts very easily
• Contains a wide range of solved problems and exercise in order to meet the requirements of competitive examinations
• Includes add-ons that attract attention to the important takeaways in learning concepts
