Re: How To Prepare For NCBS

National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bangalore, Karnataka, is a research centre specialising in biological research
Preparation for any exam done on our own methods so that I can not guide you but I am telling you the whole procedure of the NCBS exam so that you can prepare yourself on the basis of that:

Different stages in the selection process

1. Entrance test
2. Write-up submission
3. First round interview
4. Final round interview

Entrance test:

The test paper has four parts carrying 20 marks:
1)General math/aptitude
2)Physics
3)Chemistry
4)Biology.
You do not need to be good at ALL the fields. Yu can easily clear it even if you are good at one field, average at another and reasonably good in other two.
Each part has 10 one mark questions and 5 two-mark questions. All are objective type questions with negative marking(-1/2 and -1 respectively.)

Write-up round:

Once you clear the entrance, you will recieve a letter and form from NCBS, which you'll have to fill and send back in about a month or two.
The most important bit they ask you to do is to write a short essay within 300-400 words about any unanswered question or research topic of your choice, in biology

First round interview:

In the first round interview, students are divided into different batches, who will face different interview panels (probably at random). Each interview panel has three interviewer, usually from different backgrounds. During the interview, they first ask you what is the area which you are comfortable with.
Make sure that you are really strong in the field that you mention For anything and everything, keep using the board, write down formulae, draw diagrams to explain. They can easily figure it out if you are faking it or if you've flicked it from someone. The results are usually announced on the same day as the interview

Final round interview:

You will face a 15 member panel now. This is pretty unnerving initially. With different people firing different questions from all sides. Make sure that you say that you don’t know something, when u are not strong in that particular field.
And make sure you keep pushing the questions towards what you are reallly strong at.
