Hello Pankaj,

Books play an important role in the success of candidate in the exams. To achieve a great score in CSIR UGC NET exam always prefer the best reference books which covers the complete syllabus and explain each topic in simple manner.

Here are some books of Life Sciences which can help you in CSIR NET exam preparation.

• Plants Physiology – Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger
• Schaums Outline of Human Anatomy and Physiology, Third Edition (Schaums Outline Series)
• Principles of Genetics – D. Peter Snustad, Michael J. Simmons
• Developmental Biology – Scott F. Gilbert
• Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry – David L. Nelson and Michael M. Cox
• Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments – Gerald Karp
• Plant Breeding Principles & Methods – 2015 – B.D. Singh
• Basic Ecology: Fundamentals of Ecology – Eugene P. Odum
• Essential Immunology – Ivan M. Roitt | Roitt’s Essential Immunology: Includes Desktop Edition – Peter J. Delves, Seamus J. Martin, Dennis R. Burton, Ivan M. Roitt
• ENZYMES: Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Clinical Chemistry, 2/E – Trevor Palmer and Philip Bonner
• Genetics: Principles and Analysis – Daniel L. Hartl and Elizabeth W. Jones
• Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual – Joseph Sambrook and David Russell
• Genomes 3 – T.A. Brown
• Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics – Sandy B. Primrose and Richard Twyman
• Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Applications of Recombinant DNA – Bernard R. Glick and Jack J. Pasternak
• Molecular Biology of the Gene – James D. Watson, Tania A. Baker, Stephen P. Bell, Alexander Gann, Michael Levine, and Richard Losick
• Molecular Biology of the Cell – Bruce Alberts, Alexander Johnson, Julian Lewis, David Morgan, Martin Raff, Keith Roberts, and Peter Walter

Along with these books must solve previous years question papers and model test papers to examine your preparation.

hey!

Biochemistry: Stryer

Cell biology: Lodish

Molecular biology: Watson

Plant physiology: Taiz

Ecology: Peter Stiling

Developmental Biology: Gilbert

Genetics: Pierce

Techniques: Any cell and molecular biology or biochemistry texts or if you have time and patience go for Wilson and Walker

Genetic engineering: Primrose, anyway this area isn't so important.

Additionally, Kuby immunology and Ananthanarayana or Prescott microbiology can be read but these are not high scoring areas.

Further, studying biochemistry and cell biology is only for getting the basic idea. If you are clear with the basic things selective study is only required. The key is Watson, Taiz, Stiling and Gilbert. Questions are directly asked from these texts, in fact, the same line is taken and asked. So stick on to the regularly asked areas in these books and revise them properly.
