Greetings !!

Pls note the difference between CSIR NET and UGC NET. Both these exams are being conducted for Assistant Professorship and JRF

The National Eligibility Tests such as UGC NET, CSIR NET, all 2 entrance exams are initiated by the University Grants Commission.

From the very starting, the CSIR NET is conducted by CSIR itself and UGC NET was conducted by CBSE, it was earlier under the hat of UGC, but now UGC NET Exam will be conducted by NTA.

CSIR NET is specially designed for only those students who belong to Science Stream whereas UGC NET is for all other types of courses in India.

The Bachelor degree candidates holding qualification in B-Tech, B-Pharm (4 Years Degree) can appear for CSIR NET JRF but to appear in UGC NET Exam, they must have valid Post-Graduation Degree.

The age limit for appearing in CSIR NET is 28 Years (General & OBC) or 33 Years (ST/SC/PWD) whereas, for UGC NET, it is 30 Years (General) or 35 Years (ST/SC/PWD/OBC).

There are 3 sections in CSIR NET Exam (Part A, Part B & Part C) whereas the UGC NET consists of 2 Papers (Paper 1 & Paper 2)

The number of appearing candidates is more in UGC NET as compared to CSIR NET. If any doubts, pls feel free to ask !

Wish You Good Luck !

Thank You !!
