Biology

Dear Siva, To be eligible for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in India, candidates must have completed their 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Since you have completed 12th with only Physics and Chemistry, you would need to fulfill the Biology requirement.In Singapore, there are bridging programs designed to help students meet specific subject prerequisites:A Level Bridging Programme: This programme offers a 2-hour session providing an overview of Junior College subjects and topics, which may include Biology.Polytechnic Bridging Courses: Some polytechnics offer bridging courses in subjects like Biology, which could help you meet the NEET eligibility criteria.I recommend contacting the respective institutions directly to inquire about the availability and enrollment procedures for these bridging programs. Additionally, consulting with educational counselors in Singapore can provide personalized guidance to help you achieve your goal of taking the NEET examination.

hi, Yes, you can apply for both Mathematics and Biology in the NEST exam, but it depends on the programme and the subject sections of the exam. If you are eligible based on your 12th background (e.g., Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics), you can opt for courses that allow a combination of both subjects.The NEST exam has multiple sections:Biology Section: This is for candidates who have studied Biology in 12th and are applying for biology-related programs such as M.Sc. in Biological Sciences.Mathematics Section: This is for candidates who want to apply for mathematics-based programs like M.Sc. in Physics or Mathematics.You can attempt both sections and be considered for courses in either Biology or Mathematics, provided the course eligibility aligns with your background. However, make sure to check specific programme eligibility as some courses might require specific subjects, like Biology or Mathematics.

hi, Yes, a PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) candidate is eligible to write the NEST exam without Biology. For candidates who have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in their 12th, there are Mathematics and Physics-based Integrated M.Sc. programs available at institutions like NISER and UM-DAE.The NEST exam allows candidates to appear based on their chosen stream:PCM candidates can apply for M.Sc. in Physics, M.Sc. in Mathematics, and other related programs.The exam will have sections on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, but Biology will not be required for PCM students.In summary, while Biology is mandatory for biology-related courses, it is not necessary for PCM candidates. Ensure you check the specific programme eligibility and prepare for the subjects relevant to your stream.

hi, Biology is compulsory for candidates appearing for the NEST exam if they are applying for biology-related programs. The NEST exam, conducted for admission to Integrated M.Sc. programs in institutions like NISER and UM-DAE, includes multiple subjects, and the requirement for Biology depends on the course you're applying for.If you are a Biology student (with subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in 12th), Biology is necessary for admission to courses such as:M.Sc. in Biological SciencesM.Sc. in BioinformaticsOther related biology programs.However, if you are not pursuing a biology-based programme (such as M.Sc. in Physics or M.Sc. in Mathematics), then Biology is not required.Therefore, for biology-related courses, you need to have studied Biology in your 12th, and the NEST exam will test you on that subject alongside others like Physics and Chemistry. Be sure to check the specific eligibility for each programme you wish to apply for.

hi, No, mathematics is not compulsory for all courses in the NEST exam if you are a biology student. If you have completed your 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, you can apply for the Biology-related Integrated M.Sc. programs offered through NEST, such as M.Sc. in Biological Sciences, Bioinformatics, or other biology-based fields.However, if you're interested in programs that involve Mathematics, such as M.Sc. in Physics or Mathematics, then you would need to have studied Mathematics in your 12th standard to be eligible.The NEST exam has separate sections:Biology Section: Focuses on Biology for those who have completed it in 12th.Physics and Chemistry Sections: Focus on Physics and Chemistry, which do not require mathematics for Biology students.Be sure to review the course requirements for specific programs you're interested in, and ensure the subjects align with the exam's syllabus.
