Oct 28, 2015 at 13:59 comment added Danny Ruberman You could say a bit more by this argument. Say $N$ has dimension $n$. The same cup-product calculation says that if $f^*$ is injective on $H^n(N,Z/p)$, it is injective in all degrees. The non-vanishing of $f^*$ on $H^n(N,Z/p)$ could be phrased as the existence of an n-dimensional submanifold of $M$ mapping with non-zero Z/p degree onto $N$. This follows from the existence of a section, or more generally of a `multi-section' of degree relatively prime to $p$.
