I write this article keeping in mind BE/BTech students aspiring for higher studies (especially PhD) in India. I hope this collection of resources will be useful for GATE (BT or XL), CSIR-UGC-NET, DBT-JRF, ICMR-JRF, JNU-CBEE and aspirants of other competitive exams for higher studies in life sciences. 1.
