0.0

A Textbook of Biology is based on the National Core Curriculum in Science and Mathematics. The objective of the National Core Curriculum framework approved by COBSE (Council of Boards of School Education) is to introduce uniform learning content at the senior secondary level. It is envisaged to set a level-playing field for all the students of our country. This measure will ensure a good competition amongst students of different regions to fare well at the National Entrance Tests such as ISEET, IIT-JEE, AIEEE, NEET, etc. The delineated syllabus represents a quantum jump from learning experience at school to what is expected at the senior secondary level.
