Life Science

Considering your educational background, the best option available for you in the CSIR NET examination is Life Sciences.MSc in Environmental Science and BSc in Zoology cover the major areas of life sciences from ecology, physiology to genetics, molecular biology, and environmental biology topics where you have your existing knowledge and could prove to have the strongest base. Earth sciences are mainly concerned with the study of things like geophysics, geology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and even if you have a few common topics in environmental sciences, you cannot expect that your background from zoology helped much in covering the needed geological content. Take Life Sciences as your subject into the examination and focus on treasuring your understanding of core concepts mainly ecology and development of biodiversity.

The pattern of entrance examination for admission for Ph.D. in Life Sciences is slightly different in each university or research institution, but mostly they follow more or less this pattern :-General PatternMode of Examination :-Online (Computer-Based Test) or Offline (Pen-and-paper test)Duration :-Usually spends between 2-3 hoursSections :-Part A: General AptitudeInvolves questions in Reasoning, Quantitative Ability, and Basic Mathematics.Mainly tests analytical skills and comprehension.Part B: Subject-Specific QuestionsCore Life Sciences topics include Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Ecology.Basics as well as Applications.Type of Questions:Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)Besides these, some have assertion-reasoning or matching type questions.Marking Scheme:Usually +2 or +4 for a correct answer, and negative marking (-1 or -0.25) for incorrect answers.An Overview of the Syllabus Biochemistry: Enzymes, Metabolism, Biomolecules Molecular Biology: DNA/RNA structure, Replication, Transcription, Translation Cell Biology: Organelles, Cell Cycle, Signal Transduction Genetics: Mendelian and Molecular Genetics Microbiology: Pathogenic Microbes, Immunology Basics Ecology and Evolution: Biodiversity, Population Genetics Biotechnology: Genetic Engineering, PCR, Bioinformatics

With an 85 percentile in the CSIR NET Life Sciences exam, your eligibility depends on the cutoff percentiles set for Assistant Professor, Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), and Ph.D. admissions. Generally: 1. JRF: The cutoff percentile for JRF is typically higher than for the Assistant Professor role and varies each year. In many cases, it ranges above 90 percentile, so an 85 percentile might not qualify you directly for JRF if the cutoff is higher. 2. Assistant Professor: The eligibility for the Assistant Professor role has a relatively lower cutoff. Often, scoring in the range of 80-85 percentile can be sufficient, but this again depends on the category-specific cutoffs, which can vary. 3. Ph.D. Programs: Many universities accept CSIR NET scores for Ph.D. admissions. With an 85 percentile, you should be eligible to apply, though acceptance will also depend on the specific requirements of the university or research institution.
