No. Both are different. One can enroll for PhD through CSIR NET. programs across the country but limited to ICAR NET having eligibility criteria for lectures in agricultural universities. Also, CSIR NET is a tough nut to crack. Best wishes!

You can check the complete differences between CSIR NET and UGC NET (https://examnotifier.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/is-ugc-net-and-csir-net-same/) here.

Hello Candidate!

Yes, both CSIR- UGC NET and UGC NET is different. USIR- UGC NET is a test conducted to determine the eligibility of candidates for Junior Research fellowship (JRF) and Lectureship/ Assistant Professor in Indian Universities & colleges in the subject areas falling under the faculty of science & technology.

NET (The national eligibility test) is conducted on behalf of UGC (University grants commission) for determining the eligibility of candidates for Assistant professor, Junior Research fellowship for Indian colleges or universities for all subjects of every stream.

Hope this answers your query.

Dear student,

• ugc net exam is conducted by the university grants commission while csir net exam is conducted by human rural development group of council of scientific and industrial research . these exams have difference in subject and exam pattern.
• hence they are not same because ugc net is conducted for humanities and commerce majors while csir net is conducted for five science subjects means mainly focusing for science stream students.
• csir net has only one paper of 3 hours while ugc net has 2 papers of three hours.

Dear aspirant hope you are doing well.

Primarily these both exams are having differences in two areas i.e. Subjects and Exam Pattern. UGC NET Exam is conducted for almost all subjects of every stream while CSIR NET exam is organized only for the science stream subjects. This is the major difference between both exams.To can read the article. Link is given below
