Coming to the topics:Molecules and their interaction relevant to biologyCellular organisationCell communication and cell signalingSystem physiology- plantSystem physiology- animalInheritance biologyApplied biologyMethods in biologyFundamentals ProcessesDevelopment biologyDiversity in life formsEcological principlesEvolution and behavior
Keep first eight topics (mentioned in the list above) on preference while preparing for the exam and then proceed to further chapters. Be clear that fundamentals must be the priority, if you do not know them well you will not be able to solve the CSIR NET Question papers. To prepare for CSIR NET life Science you can follow the tips suggested below. Start preparing for it soon as it has a vast syllabus. Know the syllabus well and put the efforts in the right direction- no matter what just memorize the things well. Revise well whatever you study. Make notes properly and understand that there is no need to go beyond the syllabus. If you know the syllabus you will not waste the time and you can easily drop the topics which are of no use as per exam purpose. Cover the syllabus and read it again and again. You will not have to mug up the things, seriously. Just cover the syllabus, solve the relevant questions and revise the chapters again.

Hello Aspirants!
To crack CSIR NET Life Science you must follow the simple strategies in smart manner. Always follow a strict rule- concept, practice, revision. Below I am suggesting the tips. During all your preparation go for good books that may clear your fundamentals with logics. Just jot down the complete syllabus of CSIR Life Science. Be Clear that you are not supposed to cover all the syllabus at once. Go with the topics you can do easily and faster. Mark the topics and then proceed the next one. Manage your time effectively. Attempt all the previous year CSIR NET question papers and mock papers to check the difficulty level you are going to appear for. Revise on daily basis. Do not be in the misconception of revising the things at the last moment. Start preparing short notes, which we may say core of something, note down the important facts & points. Short notes help you remember things longer and in revision. The very thing solving a variety of question helps you to come to know how to approach a question. While solving the questions proceed level by level to check the conceptual clarity. Always keep in mind that do not go for the questions if you are not sure about it and also do not take part a for granted.

The paper is a standard one. It has questions on cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, biostatistics, application based questions on molecular biology and biophysical techniques and some questions on zoology and botany. Do your B.Sc. Syllabus properly and you can follow pathfinder life sciences book for CSIR NET and JAM. Maximum number of questions come from molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and physiology, so if you are thorough with these, I think you can crack the exam. Also try understanding the applications of techniques like SDSPAGE, Blotting, bacterial transformation etc. As questions from these would not be subjective but would test your practical knowledge about them.
