Frequently Asked Questions
The CSIR NET is a national-level exam conducted to determine eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Lectureship in Indian universities in the field of Life Sciences.
The exam consists of three parts:
Part A: General Aptitude (common for all)
Part B: Subject-based factual questions
Part C: Analytical, conceptual, and application-based questions
The paper is 3 hours long and carries a total of 200 marks. It is conducted in online (CBT) mode
Yes.
Part A & B: -0.5 for each wrong answer
Part C: -1.0 for each wrong answer
You’ll see 145 questions in the paper, but you need to attempt only:
Part A: 15 out of 20
Part B: 35 out of 50
Part C: 25 out of 75
You must have any one of the following degrees from a recognized Indian institution:
M.Sc. (or equivalent) in Life Sciences
Integrated BS–MS or BS (4-year)
BE / B.Tech
B.Pharma / MBBS
Final-year students in any of the above programs are allowed to apply provisionally—they must complete their degree within the validity period (typically, within 1–2 years after results) to avail fellowship/admission.
The CSIR NET is usually held twice a year — typically in June and December
It varies each cycle but generally lies between 45–55% for JRF and 40–50% for LS, depending on the category.
Yes. The course is curated to target all 14 official CSIR units, focusing on the most expected, high-yield topics for each.
Absolutely. You’ll get module-wise revisions, and mixed tests to simulate the real exam experience.
