Hi Krutika,
No, biology is not compulsory for NEST exam. There are five sections in the NEST exam. The first section which is compulsory for all the candidates includes general questions. From the rest of the four sections (physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology), you can answer any three of them.
Thanks!
