I am assuming that you are referring to the PU CET (Post Graduate Common Entrance Test) conducted by Panjab University, Chandigarh for admission to postgraduate courses, including M.Sc. In Botany and Zoology. If you want to appear for both the Botany and Zoology entrance exams, you will have to fill separate application forms for each exam. The application process for PU CET is usually conducted online, and you can find the application forms on the official website of Panjab University. While filling the application form, you will have to select the course (s) you want to apply for and pay the application fee accordingly. Make sure to read the instructions and eligibility criteria carefully before filling the application form to avoid any mistakes or discrepancies. After submitting the application form, you will receive an admit card for each exam separately. The admit card will have details such as the exam date, time, and venue. Make sure to carry the admit card and a valid ID proof on the day of the exam. I would recommend checking the official website of Panjab University for the latest information on the application process and eligibility criteria for PU CET for Botany and Zoology. You can also contact the university's admission office for any further queries or assistance.

Yes, if you choose to major in microbiology, you can also become a lecturer in Zoology or Botany. To qualify for lectureships, you must first complete a master's degree in microbiology before applying for exams like the CSIR NET. You can be chosen for a lectureship and a Junior Research Fellowship through the CSIR NET Exam, which is administered by the NTA (National Testing Agency). Only candidates from the Science stream are eligible to take this exam. The subjects covered by this exam include:
Natural Science
Molecular Science
Life Science Mathematical Science
Planetary Science
You must submit a CSIR NET Life Sciences application because you are studying microbiology. The administrators will issue you a Certificate once you pass the test, which you can use to apply for assistant professor positions at various colleges and universities.
