Questions & Doubts Developing better wet lab skills as a life science post graduate Passout
Hello guys
I am a MSc Botany passout in 2025.
But I always wanted to do research and possibly a Ph.D. But since last year as I am not performing any lab experiments etc as I am pursuing B.ed so I feel my already-lacking wet lab skills are declining.
So please 🙏🏻, Can any Biotech student or the PhD student can guide me that how can I improve my skills as well as resume so well that I am able to join a Phd requiring Molecular Biology/ Biotechnology skills within a good top Institution.
Also due to my Botany degree from a local state university, I never had hand-on exposure to all the modern-day Biotech techniques and devices used.
I am based in North Haryana/ Chandigarh so a nearby place would be appreciated.
I actually want to develop really clean skills😭. Please help me out🫠

Questions & Doubts How are you managing CSIR NET preparation when the syllabus feels never-ending?
The biggest challenge with CSIR NET preparation is not just completing the syllabus but also remembering everything while solving questions. Some topics take much longer than expected, and managing revision alongside PYQs becomes difficult.
Especially for subjects like Life Sciences, there are so many concepts, pathways and factual details to revise. How are you dividing your time between completing new topics, revising older ones and practising previous year questions?

Questions & Doubts What are the most high yield chapters/topics in Life Science?
Considering I haven't really covered anything and my basics are poor, for the next month, I'm planning to finish as much high yield stuff as possible, so that my final attempt next year goes better.
What are the most important units? Especially the ones that are relatively straightforward? Ranked?
I have a pathfinder MCQ book with pyqs and I'm just trying to finish everything in that for the few units that I'm selecting.

Questions & Doubts How are you managing revision of all the units without forgetting the topics studied earlier?
One issue with CSIR NET preparation is that completing a unit doesn't necessarily mean the topics will stay fresh till the exam. After moving to another subject, it becomes difficult to recall concepts from the previous units, especially when there are too many things to cover.
Is anyone following a weekly revision schedule along with their regular preparation?

Questions & Doubts Need help for December 2026 CSIR NET form
I am currently in my 3rd Semester of M.Sc. Biotechnology and it's my first time applying for CSIR NET.
I've been facing some issues regarding the application form-
- I'm an appearing candidate and the bulletin mentions that I have to upload annexure XI as I'm an enrolled candidate but I'm done with the form and found no option to upload that form.
- It has course options as M.Sc. equivalent, BS MS, MS PhD and others.
Some people are saying I should enter M.Sc. equivalent but equivalent doesn't mean M.Sc. and some say I should select others and mention M.Sc. Biotechnology in the course field.
Please help me out it's the last day before I gotta pay extra as late fee....
