What are the differences between UGC NET and CSIR NET?

UGC NET Exam : On behalf of University Grants Commission (UGC), the National Eligibility Test (NET) is conducted for determining the eligibility of Indian nationals for the Eligibility for Assistant Professor (https://www.anujjindal.in/ugc-net-jrf-admit-card-eligibility-result/) only or Junior Research Fellowship & Assistant Professor Both, in Indian Universities and Colleges.

CSIR NET: CSIR NET is conducted by NTA to shortlist aspirants for the award of JRF and eligibility of Assistant Professor for Science subjects only. UGC NET is conducted by NTA to select candidates for the award of JRF and eligibility of Assistant Professor for all other subjects (total 81).

UGC NET and CSIR NET both are conducted by National Testing Agency to recruitment the Assistant Professors/Lecturers and also candidates become eligible for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).

The major difference between these two is UGC NET is conducted for all the subjects. However, CSIR NET is applicable for only science stream candidates.

There is difference is age limit too. For JRF, UGC NET upper limit is 30 years. However, CSIR NET only has 28 years.

CSIR NET Exam has only one paper of 3 hours while UGC NET has two papers with the time duration of 3 hours. Each paper of UGC NET has its own specific duration.

There are various differences b/w CSIR NET and UGC NET. Apart from their ultimate motive that these exams are being conducted for Assistant Professorship and JRF, nothing is similar in them.

I’ll tell you some major and interesting facts about these two exams here.

The National Eligibility Tests such as UGC NET, CSIR NET, all 2entrance tests 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, BS, 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)

UGC NET and CSIR NET exams have differences in various terms. UGC NET Exam is conducted by the University Grants Commission while CSIR NET exam is conducted by Human Resource Development Group (HRDG) of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR).

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.

CSIR NET Exam has only one paper of 3 hours while UGC NET has two papers with the time duration of 3 hours. Each paper of UGC NET has its own specific duration.

The CBSE UGC NET qualified candidates to get a chance to work with NET Coordinating Institutes whereas CSIR NET qualified candidates have to work with the CSIR Research Laboratories.
