Since my early school days, I have been interested in science and wanted to pursue a career in the same. I have always been interested in Biology, especially animal science and Genetics ever since they were introduced in our high-school curriculum, which in turn instigated me to take up Zoology as the major subject in college and university. In order to take my career forward in science and contribute to advancements in the field of scientific discovery, I appeared for the CSIR-UGC NET and GATE to be considered eligible for PhD at any renowned research institute across India. The journey was as difffcult as it was enriching; I learned a lot about applied biology and things that are not generally included in any post-graduate curriculum. i now look forward to sharing that knowledge with all those who aspire to pursue a career in Biology for higher studies or crack any of the national-level examinations like the ones mentioned already. I want students to understand that biology is interesting and promises of enough scope in future. I have been helping students achieve that but now would like to do on a larger scale.
