    Hi,
    You can apply for the CSIR NET Exam but you will be awarded the CSIR NET certificate after the completion of your post-graduation and you can apply for only JRF. But You are not eligible for an assistant professor post. You can apply for an assistant professor after completion of your post-graduation. For UGC NET Exam, you can apply after completion of the post graduation.

    Yes, she is eligible to appear for the CSIR NET Exam but only for the JRF on the basis of her graduation degree. As per the norms of CSIR 1st year, students of Post Graduation are not eligible for an Assistant Professor.
    If she wants to appear for the post of an Assistant Professor she has to qualify her Post Graduation.
    If she is in the final year or semester she can apply for the exam. Basic eligibility to appear in the exam is:
    1. Minimum 55% in the Post-Graduation is the basic qualification required to appear in the exam.
    2. Candidate should not be more than 28 years for JRF. There is no age limit for Assistant Professor.

    Hi,
    Qualification:
    Candidates should have a minimum of 55% in their PG or an equivalent from any recognized university. UGC NET offers an exemption to candidates from the Other Backward Classes (OBC)/ ST/SC categories for up to 50%. NTA permits students in the final year of the course to apply for the exam. However, candidates will be disqualified if they fail to secure the marks as indicated by the Board. No, she can't apply in 1st Year. Thanks.

    No, if the students are in the 1st year of their Masters then they are not eligible for these exams. Only a student who is in the final year of his post-graduation or has completed the degree can apply for the exam.

    Applicants can also apply for the CSIR test if they are enrolled in an M.Sc. Programme. Applicants from any engineering or Science background who are willing to enrol in a Ph.D. or Ph.D. integrated programme are eligible to apply for the grant.

    No, you can't apply for UGC NET if you are studying in 1st year. The minimum qualifications to apply NET test is complete PG with minimum 55% marks or studying in PG's final year.

    If I'm not wrong, then the doubt which you have is that if you qualified NET exam in 1st year M.Sc. Then will it be valid? Then the answer is yes!
    you are eligible for NET exam and your score will be valid even after completion of you M.Sc. Degree!
