I would suggest that you fill the application form again or request the authorities to correct the e-mail ID by writing to them via e-mail and informing them of the mistake. E-Mail ID is important as you will be receiving an email regarding confirmation of the registration on your registered email ID. You will also require your registered e-mail ID to login to their official website. Regards.

Hi Meghna,
No, biology is not compulsory to attend NEST examination.There are five sections in the NEST exam. The general section i.e. the first section is compulsory for all. From the rest of the four sections (physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology), you can answer any three of them.
Thanks!
