Hello Mansi,

If you have interest in becoming junior research fellow or assistant professor in Chemistry, then CSIR UGC NET is the better option for you.

Candidates having or pursuing their Masters’ degree in Science Stream are only eligible to take CSIR NET exam.

They should have minimum 55% aggregate marks in Masters’ if they are from General/ OBC Category or if they belong to SC/ST/ PwD categories they should have scored minimum 50% aggregate.

To apply for the CSIR NET exam candidate’s maximum age should be 28 years. SC/ST/OBC/PWD/female applicants have up to 5 years relaxation in age criteria.

For Assistant Professor, there is no upper age limit to apply.
