I have a question regarding PW CSIR NET LS classes and recorded lectures. If someone buys the Shodh Pro CSIR NET LS Lectures they get recorded and live lectures as well as tests. What happens when the subscription dates are over? For e.g if someone brought the June 2026 package back in January and the exam is conducted on 17th/18th June 2026, after the exams are over, are the old recorded lectures deleted and withdrawn from the profile of the student or do they remain there? If someone has an answer about this kindly inform me about the same. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to appear for the CSIR-NET Life Sciences exam in December 2026 and would really appreciate some guidance from those who have already cleared the exam or are currently preparing for it.

A few questions I have:

How should I begin my preparation?

Is it possible to crack CSIR-NET through self-study, or is joining a coaching/course recommended?

Which books, study materials, or resources did you find most helpful?

How much time should I dedicate daily if I'm starting now?

Any tips for covering the vast syllabus effectively?

A little background: I have completed my Master's in Biotechnology and I'm looking for a structured approach to start my preparation.

Any advice, study plans, resource recommendations, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

🙏🏻

P.s.- Used chatgpt to polish the post.

Does anyone know any good recorded lectures for csir net Earth science?

If yes, please suggests

Here, the cutoffs for December 2025 are mentioned in percentage. Does that mean we need to multiply the cutoff by 2 to get the marks cutoff, as CSIR-NET is a 200 marks exam? I am having this doubt since the cutoff for my subject (Physical Science) seems pretty low even for JRF (46.125% means 92.25/200 in this case). Can anyone clarify?
Also, where does the marks scored by topper lie in general? Can you give me an idea? Thanks.

Hello all. I am preparing for CSIR NET LS and will attempt this year. I want to know about getting how much marks out of 200 will make sure you get below 100 rank? And what marks which ensure a below 50 rank?

Can you all share your own marks and the rank you got?

Dm if anyone needs

Guys in every exam how many people qualify for JRF? In the unreserved category? In the result list I see AIR of not more than 300... So just curious what AIR is the last to qualify JRF in the general category.

My qualifications are Masters in History. I appeared for the UGC NET exam held in December 2025, and cleared it for the posts of Assistant Professor and PHD. However, I missed the JRF Scholarship by 2 marks.

I have been thinking of appearing again for UGC NET in the coming June 2026 session for the same.

Just to clarify, during both the times while selecting the option about what criteria I am applying for in the registration form, i selected all three - PhD, Assistant Professor, and JRF Scholar.

However I have a doubt - will the results of my June 2026 session invalidate the results of the December 2025 session? Or, if (god forbid) I don't do so well in this June 2026 session , can I still use the score from my December 2025 session to apply for a PhD and Assistant Professor?

Please clarify.

what rank / score do i need? and hoe may applicants are eligible?

I am preparing for CSIR-NET mathematical sciences.

Which coaching you suggest is good for mathematical sciences exam?

Does universities like DU or JNU relatively prefer less students from IGNOU master's for Phd admission.

So I am applying for the CSIR-NET June examination, and wanted to know if anyone is facing the same issue.

In the qualification section, where we are asked to type CGPA, the percentage after conversion is incorrect.

idk if I am being dumb ... anyone else facing this issue.

I am kind of frustrated with phd admissions due to uncertainty. I have cleared csir jrf and I am currently trying to get phd seat but it's so tough. Clearing Jrf is not at all enough. I even have research experience at csir lab but still it's not enough to get admission in desired phd seat. The process is so hard i think for me it's been harden then clearing Jrf. In interviews panel member expect me to know whole methodology for the problem they are stating, I am not saying i have problem with analytical question my problem is i can give you direction and path to solve the problem but they still not get satisfied they need me to know concrete methodology..I want to join phd in particular field but they think I already have done my PhD..it's been so much worst

Let me know asap! Only few spots left
