The '''National Standard Examination in Biology''' or NSEB is an examination for biology for higher secondary school students in [[India]], usually conducted in the end of November. The examination is organized by the [[Association of Teachers in Biological Sciences]]<ref>{{Cite web|title = NABT National Association of Biology Teachers|url = http://www.nabt.org/|website = www.nabt.org|accessdate = 2015-12-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motachashma.com/scholarships/nseb-national-standard-examination-in-biology.php|title=National Standard Examination in Biology|last=|first=|date=|website=Motachasma|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref> in association with [[Indian Association of Physics Teachers]]<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title = NSEC/B/A/JS|url = http://iapt.org.in/index.php/exams/nse/nsec-b-a-js.html|website = iapt.org.in|accessdate = 2015-12-04}}</ref> and [[Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education]] (HBCSE). Each year over 30,000 students of 12th Standard or below , sit for this examination.<ref name=":0"/><br />
<br />
==Eligibility==<br />
<br />
The examination is intended for students in 12th standard,<ref name=":0" /> though 11th standard students are also allowed to give the examination. Usually, the qualifying students are from 12th standard.<br />
<br />
==Qualification==<br />
<br />
There is a designated statewise quota according to which the students are selected for the next stage i.e. INBO. Further all students scoring greater than '''80% of the average of the top ten scores at national level'''(called as Merit Index Score) get automatically selected irrespective of the statewise quota.<br />
Usually the top 1% students from this examination are selected to sit for the [[Indian National Biology Olympiad]].<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
<br />
The NSEB comprises only [[multiple choice question]]s. The questions include plant physiology, genetics and human physiology. The stress on biochemistry is more in the NSEB than in the typical school syllabi.<br />
<br />
==Fee==<br />
<br />
As per new revised norms the fee for the NSEB is about Rs. 150. Application for this examination is typically handled through the school/college to which the student is affiliated.<br />
<br />
== Indian National Biology Olympiad ==<br />
It's held in January, and consists of objective as well as subjective questions. The top 35 performers here, are selected for the Orientation-Cum-Selection-Camp (OCSC), Biology , where they're trained and tested in theory and experiment. The top 4 performers from OCSC Biology are selected to represent India in the [[International Biology Olympiad]].<br />
<br />
Before IBO, the selected team undergoes rigorous training in theory and experiment, in a Pre-Departure Training Camp (PDC).<br />
