Hi,
You can give your CSIR NET exam in Mathematical Science. You can also apply for this exam even if you are in your final year of M.Sc. Before to apply, you have to check CSIR NET Eligibility Criteria. You can check it off: https://scoop.eduncle.com/csir-net-eligibility-criteria. CSIR also offers scholarships and awards for the candidates, who qualify the exam with top ranks and perform outstandingly in Research areas respectively. -
For Mathematical Science and other Science streams, there is CSIR NET Exam. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research conducts the CSIR NET for Mathematical Sciences, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, Chemical Sciences and Physics Sciences. As you are pursuing Masters in Mathematical Science, you must apply for CSIR NET Mathematical Sciences only. For preparation of CSIR NET you can take help from here - https://alertforexam.wordpress.com/2018/06/11/how-to-prepare-for-csir-net-without-any-coaching/ click to read. But before applying for CSIR NET Exam, make sure that you also meet the required eligibility criteria.
I hope it helps! -
