If you scored 112 marks and belong to the SC category, then you would have qualified since the cutoff for SC is 105 marks. But because you mistakenly filled the form as OBC , your score is compared with the OBC cutoff, which is 120 marks, and that makes you ineligible as per the filled category.

So technically, you will not be treated as qualified in this attempt under OBC, even though your marks are above the SC cutoff. For eligibility as JRF or Assistant Professor, you need to officially qualify the exam under your correct category. For private universities or hospitals, some may allow you based on your degree and qualification, but for official UGC recognition, you will need to reapply with the correct category and clear the cutoff.

• Seniors can be very helpful — they guide you with notes, exam tips, internships, and real-life insights.
• Professors provide core concepts, but many students end up learning deeply on their own through books, YouTube, or peers.
• Best results come from using all three: professors, self-study, and senior guidance.

Dear aspirant,

To become an assistant professor in Botany through CSIR, you need to qualify the CSIR NET examination in Life Sciences subject. You can start by building a strong understanding of core topics like Plant Physiology, Ecology, Taxonomy, Genetics, and Molecular Biology . Use standard books like NCERT, Taiz and Zeiger, and Lehninger. Refer to CSIR NET specific guides and solve previous year papers regularly. It will be really helpful to qualify the examination. After qualifying NET with JRF or LS or lectureship, you become eligible to apply for Assistant Professor posts in universities or colleges. You have to stay updated through the official CSIR NET website. Keep studying and do revisions to get success.

Good luck.

Hello Aspirant,

To develop a career option as a professor after completing Class 12 with PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology), it starts with a bachelor’s degree in your chosen subject (e.g. B.Sc. in Biology, Zoology, Botany, etc.), follow that with a master’s degree in your specialization (e.g. M.Sc.), and then you need to clear the UGC NET or CSIR NET exam to qualify for lectureship in India. Finally, it helps getting a Ph.D. and university teaching/research experience.

Hello Rishabh,

If you are asking whether professors in other colleges teach the same content as IITs, the answer depends on the institute. Some good engineering colleges follow similar syllabuses, but the teaching quality, research exposure, and depth of concepts may not always match IITs. IITs focus a lot on research, advanced problem-solving, and innovation, which may not be the same everywhere.

If you want information about a particular college, please ask your question by mentioning the college name and location etc.

Thank you !

Hello there,

Unfortunately, I don't have access to specific job application statuses or recruitment details for your college. I recommend reaching out directly to the college's HR department or checking the college's official website for updates on the assistant professor positions.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

If you filled the UGC NET exam as an EWS candidate but qualified as an Assistant Professor by scoring above the general category cutoff, you will still be considered as an EWS candidate even though your score is higher than the general category cutoff; your category is determined by the category you applied under, not just your final score.

You may come under UR category but you need to produce your EWS certificate during document verification wherever you apply for any Assistant Professor job or any kind of Fellowship from any University you have enrolled for your Ph. D course.

The merit list is prepared for reservation category seperately and your name appears on it only not in the list of general category candidates.

Hope you get your answer!!
