Can I apply for CSIR NET exam in Mathematical Science? I have completed my M.Tech in Biomedical Science and Engineering.

Candidates should follow a balanced approach. No doubt books help in conceptual clarity, and a candidate can study in detail. On the other hand, online platforms provide lectures through video, have updated notes, cover current affairs as well, etc. It also depends upon the candidate's feasibility and which method he or she is comfortable with for the preparation. Both books and online resources have their own importance. So, a balanced approach may benefit in the preparation.

No. The syllabus of CSIR NET is the same for JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) and Lectureship (Assistant Professor). The difference that lies is only in the cut-off marks and not in the syllabus.

To pass the CSIR NET 2025 exam, candidates must score a minimum of 33 per cent in the General, EWS, and OBC categories and 25 per cent in the SC, ST, and PwD categories for both fellowship and Lectureship/Assistant Professor.

As per the official website, stipend of a JRF selected through CSIR-UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) will be Rs 37,000/ p.m for the first two years. In addition, annual contingent grant of Rs. 20,000/- per fellow will also be provided to the fellow.

Yes. Several candidates have cleared the CSIR NET examination in three months by following a proper study plan, focusing on the important topics, frequent revision, mock test practice, previous year questions, etc.
