Hi there.

The CSIR NET test is held to identify candidates for Junior Research Fellowship and/or Assistant Lectureship positions in colleges and universities. The National Eligibility Test (NET) is administered on behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC) by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, thus the name UGC CSIR NET.

Following CSIR NET, there are several options for advancement. If you opt to become a Research Fellow, you will have a lot of opportunities in the future. You can work as a professor or as a group leader, which entails supervising the whole research team and presenting the laboratory's work. You can advance as a lecturer by supervising research students, lecturing, assessing grants and articles, and so on.
