NET-Natural Sciences Preparation

Mathematics50%
English50%

NET-Natural Sciences is the paper for candidates applying to BS Mathematics, BS Physics or BS Chemistry whose academic background is other than the standard defined streams (Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, ICS). It is split evenly between Mathematics (50%) and English (50%), with no negative marking.

With only two subjects counting, every question carries real weight. Every numerical answer is worked out and checked by computer. English items target demanding vocabulary, inference and critical reasoning.

Practise chapter by chapter with instant worked solutions, or sit a timed mock test weighted to the real 50/50 paper composition with a complete solution review at the end.
