I did ug in zoology and now am pursuing masters in nutrition course.I wanted to do PhD, so which exam should I give ? Please help

Nitin Kumar 1st May, 2024

With your background in zoology and your current Master's in nutrition, you have a strong foundation for a PhD in nutrition.

There are two main types of exams you might consider for PhD programs in India.

  • UGC NET (National Eligibility Test): This exam is conducted by the UGC (University Grants Commission) for eligibility as a college or university Assistant Professor. While not strictly a requirement for PhD programs, qualifying UGC NET demonstrates your research potential and makes you eligible for fellowships.


  • CSIR-UGC NET: Conducted by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), this exam is similar to UGC NET but focuses on science streams. Qualifying can make you eligible for research fellowships from CSIR labs.

Question : The first step in the process of nutrition is the breakdown of glucose into a three-carbon molecule called ______.

Option 1: pyruvate

Option 2: propanol

Option 3: propane

Option 4: methanol

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: pyruvate


Solution : The correct option is pyruvate.

Glycolysis is the process of breaking glucose molecules to generate energy. In this process, the glucose is broken down to create pyruvate in a cell's cytoplasm. The breakdown of one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules results in the production of additional energy in one of two ways. In the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration), pyruvic acid provides energy to living cells through the citric acid cycle, also referred to as the Krebs cycle. In the absence of oxygen, it ferments to form lactic acid.

Statement 1 states that the infant mortality rate in India is higher than in China and Pakistan, which is generally true. However, Statement 2 suggests that sufficient access to quality healthcare and adequate nutrition contribute to the high infant mortality rate in India, which is not accurate. In reality, factors such as limited access to healthcare, poor sanitation, and socioeconomic disparities contribute to the higher infant mortality rate in India. Therefore, Statement 2 is false.
