The students of various academic programmes have to compete at various levels in order to get some job or admission in esteemed institutions. Similar is the case in Veterinary and Animal science education. Persuing post graduation (M.V.Sc) after B.V.Sc & A.H at a good institute is the aim for most of the students. In this context, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi conducts All India Competitive Examination for Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) and admission to various post graduate programmes. However, this examination needs good study materials for preparation.
