For the UGC NET exam, candidates with an M.Sc in Biochemistry can choose a subject that is closely related to their field of study for Paper 2. However, the specific subject you should choose can depend on your area of interest and expertise within Biochemistry.
It’s important to note that the syllabus for each subject in Paper 2 of the UGC NET exam is different. Therefore, you should review the syllabus for potential subjects to see which one aligns best with your knowledge and skills.

When preparing to take the UGC NET with a biochemistry major, you should normally select "Life Sciences" as your topic because it corresponds with your academic background. "Life sciences" is the best option for someone with a background in biochemistry out of all the disciplines offered by the UGC NET for paper 2.
