Which topic is the most important for the CSIR UGC NET in life sciences?

Greetings and regards from Bansal Academy! Thank you for your question regarding the most important topic for CSIR UGC NET in Life Sciences.

CSIR UGC NET in Life Sciences covers a vast syllabus, and it's crucial to have a strategic approach to cover all essential topics. However, some topics are often considered particularly important and are frequently included in the exam. Here are some key topics for CSIR UGC NET in Life Sciences:

▶ Scoring Units (direct questions; fewer chances of negative score) :

• Unit 2- Cellular Organization, Unit 4- Cell Communication and Cell Signaling, Unit 5- Developmental Biology, Unit 6- Plant Physiology, Unit 9- Diversity, Unit 10- Ecology, Unit 11- Evolution.

• try to attempt maximum questions from these units in the exam.

▶ Important units (MUST prepare these) :

• Unit 1- Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology, Unit 2- Cellular Organization, Unit 3- Fundamental Processes, Unit 4- Cell Communication and Cell Signaling, Unit 8- Inheritance Biology, Unit 13- Methods in biology.

• questions are merged from many units together, so you will need these concepts to solve questions from other units.

▶ Question selection in the exam :

• in part C, you have to answer only 25 out of 75 questions. So you have to select these 25 questions strategically.

• go for match the columns first > then graphical questions > then statement combination questions > then single option type questions.

• and as I’ve said earlier, attempt maximum questions from the Scoring Units.

• biochemistry and molecular biology questions are sometimes twisted. Avoid them unless you are 101% confident. Thank me later.

▶ Part A :

• Preparing for the CSIR NET part A is easy!

• If you analyse the 10 previous question papers, you’ll find that the questions are mainly asked from the following topics:

1. time and work,

2. time and distance,

3. profit & loss,

4. probability,

5. basic geometry,

6. mensuration (area, perimeter, surface area, volume),

7. statistics (mean, median, mode, SD, SE),

8. logical reasoning,

9. number series,

10. alphabet series,

11. Venn diagrams,

12. graphical analysis,

13. blood relations,

14. non-verbal reasoning, and so on…

• you should buy a general aptitude book and devote half an hour to 1 hour every day for practicing the questions.

• also, solve the questions from previous 10 question papers to get an idea about the questions asked.

• with a little practice, you can easily score above 20 marks in part A.

• part A can save you if you mess up in part B and C

These topics form the core of the CSIR UGC NET in Life Sciences syllabus. However, it's crucial to cover all subtopics mentioned in the official syllabus for a comprehensive preparation.
