Biology Subject (314) in NIOS Senior Secondary 12th

The word biology is derived from the greek words /bios/ meaning /life/ and /logos/ meaning /study/ and is defined as the science of life and living organisms. An organism is a living entity consisting of one cell e.g. bacteria, or several cells e.g. animals, plants and fungi.ife is incredibly varied, yet based on common processes. Biologists – and students studying biology – seek evidence to explain the nature of living things, and to understand where and how life is evolving.

NIOS board is continuously working for the stress free education for the students that is why some minor changes have been taken in the NIOS Syllabus for Biology to bring a new level of knowledge and understanding for prearing the medical students for their later endeavours. The changes have been made about by government's intervetion and Council of boards of N.I.O.S education to get the new syllabus in the subject. The subjects like Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology are the backbone of major competitive examinations like AIEEE, AIPMT etc and national open school understands this for preparing passouts from its board.
