This book from Mahecha Publication, prepared by Springboard Academy, is a Hindi medium (हिन्दी माध्यम) title covering Jeev Vigyan (जीव विज्ञान) — biology — as part of the RAS Foundation series. It is written as per the latest 2026 syllabus, and this is the new edition for 2026.
Biology in RAS creates a specific difficulty. Candidates from arts and commerce backgrounds — a large share of the RAS pool — come to it with no schooling in the subject beyond class ten, while the questions asked are neither trivial nor deep: they sit at a level that a general science book does not reach and a school biology textbook overshoots. Working from NCERT alone means reading far more than the paper needs. A foundation book written for RAS settles both the depth and the terminology a candidate must be comfortable with.
The scope indicated by the subject and the cover imagery is the standard examinable range: the cell and its structure and functions, genetics and heredity including DNA and inheritance, human physiology and the body systems, nutrition and deficiency conditions, human diseases with their causes and prevention, plant biology, and applied areas such as biotechnology and health — the last being where current affairs questions in this section usually come from. For RAS the biology material also does double duty, supporting the science and technology portion of the general studies papers as well as answering directly in prelims. Springboard Academy is among the better-known RAS institutes in Jaipur, and the book carries that classroom orientation. The whole book is written in Hindi in the Devanagari script.

महेचा पब्लिकेशन द्वारा प्रकाशित तथा स्प्रिंगबोर्ड अकादमी द्वारा तैयार 'RAS Foundation — जीव विज्ञान' का यह नवीन संस्करण 2026 नवीनतम पाठ्यक्रम 2026 के अनुसार है। RAS की तैयारी में जीव विज्ञान एक विशिष्ट कठिनाई प्रस्तुत करता है — कला एवं वाणिज्य पृष्ठभूमि के अभ्यर्थी, जो RAS में बड़ी संख्या में होते हैं, इस विषय को कक्षा दस के बाद पढ़ते ही नहीं, जबकि परीक्षा में पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न न तो अत्यंत सरल होते हैं और न ही अत्यधिक गहन। सामान्य विज्ञान की पुस्तक इस स्तर तक नहीं पहुँचती और विद्यालयीन जीव विज्ञान की पुस्तक आवश्यकता से कहीं अधिक विस्तृत हो जाती है। परीक्षा हेतु लिखी गई फ़ाउंडेशन पुस्तक विषय की गहराई एवं शब्दावली दोनों निर्धारित कर देती है। इसमें कोशिका की संरचना एवं कार्य, आनुवंशिकी एवं DNA, मानव शरीर क्रिया विज्ञान एवं तंत्र, पोषण एवं विटामिन, मानव रोग — कारण, संचरण एवं रोकथाम, पादप जीव विज्ञान तथा जैव प्रौद्योगिकी एवं स्वास्थ्य से जुड़े अनुप्रयुक्त विषय सम्मिलित हैं। यह सामग्री सामान्य अध्ययन के विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी खंड में भी सहायक रहती है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः हिन्दी भाषा एवं देवनागरी लिपि में है।
