7 years agoNo, biology isn't compulsory.
There are five sections in the NEST exam. The General Section i.e. the first section is compulsory for all. From the rest of the four sections (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology) you can answer any three of them. If you wish then you can also answer all of the four sections. In that case best 3 subjects will be considered for the merit list.
