    hi,

    Yes, you can apply for both Mathematics and Biology in the NEST exam, but it depends on the programme and the subject sections of the exam. If you are eligible based on your 12th background (e.g., Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics), you can opt for courses that allow a combination of both subjects.

    The NEST exam has multiple sections:

    • Biology Section: This is for candidates who have studied Biology in 12th and are applying for biology-related programs such as M.Sc. in Biological Sciences.
    • Mathematics Section: This is for candidates who want to apply for mathematics-based programs like M.Sc. in Physics or Mathematics.

    There are 5 sections in the NEST exam. The first section which is compulsory for all the candidates includes general questions. From the rest of the four sections (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology) candidates can answer any 3 of them.

    Thanks
