About Exam :CSIR JRF/NET:Introduction CSIR JRF/NET

CSIR stands for Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India which

provides Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) to those who qualify the joint CSIR-

UGC Joint Entrance Test for Junior Research Fellowship and Eligibility for

Lectureship (LS) i.e. National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted by CSIR twice in a

year. The EMR Division under Human Resource and Development (HRD) Group

of CSIR provide CSIR Research Fellowship to bright young men and women for

training in methods of research under the expert guidance of faculty members

/scientists working in University Departments/ National Laboratories and

Institutes in various fields of Science & Technology and Medical Sciences. The

CSIR Fellowships are tenable in India. Only bonafide Indian citizens, residing in

India are eligible for the award of research Fellowship.

Eligibility for CSIR JRF/NET

The age limit for JRF (NET) is minimum 19 years and maximum 28 years,

which is relaxed upto 5 years in the case of candidates belonging to Schedule

Castes/Schedule Tribes, Women, Physically Handicapped and OBC applicants.

However for LS (NET) there is no upper age.

Candidates who have M.Sc. or Equivalent degree in life science with

minimum 55% marks for General & OBC candidates; 50% for SC/ST, Physically

and Visually Handicapped candidates and Ph.D. degree holders who had

passed Master's degree prior to 19th September 1991 are eligible.

A candidate who is appearing or has appeared in his/her final year (III/IV

Semester where Semester system is there) of M.Sc. OR equivalent Degree

Examination during the academic Session 2008-2009 can also apply for the

Test under RA (Result Awaited) category. Such candidates are admitted to the

Test provisionally. They shall only be considered eligible for JRF-(NET)/LS-

(NET), if they are able to produce the proof of having passed the Master's

Degree examination in the life science with the requisite percentage of marks

and within the stipulated time frame

Stipend, Tenure and Benefits of CSIR JRF/NET

The stipend of a JRF selected through the all India test will be Rs 25000/

p.m for a period of 2 years. In addition, annual contingent grant of Rs. 20,000/-

per fellow will be provided to the University / Institution.

On Completion of two years as JRF, the stipend may be increased to Rs.

28000/- p.m for the 3rd and subsequent year, on the basis of assessment of

Fellows' research progress/ achievements through interview by an Expert

Committee consisting of the Guide, Head of the Department and External

Member from outside the University/ Institution who is an expert in the

relevant field. On up gradation, the designation of JRF will be changed to SRF

(NET). The total tenure as JRF (NET) plus SRF (NET) shall not exceed 5 years.

For any candidate it is quite difficult to get entry into the Research and

Development department of any industry. However, candidate who is having

fellowship may get entry to pursue PhD quite easily.

There are certain laboratories which prefer to take only those candidates

who are having either CSIR or UGC fellowship. This is a great opportunity for

the candidate to get absolved in these types of industries.

Benefits

Candidates qualifying for the award of JRF (NET) will receive fellowship either

from CSIR or UGC as per their assignment or from the schemes with which they

may find association.

This Test also determines the eligibility of candidates for Lectureship

positions in Indian Universities/Colleges.

Some aspirants are declared successful in eligibility for Lectureship (NET)

category only, based on their performance in the test.

Advantages of NET- JRF over NET- LS

Candidates who have qualified for the JRF are also eligible for the

lectureship.

A certain number of JRFs are awarded each year by CSIR-UGC to the

candidates who qualify in the joint entrance examination conducted by CSIR-

UGC. The CSIR Fellowships are tenable in Universities/IITs/Post-Graduate

Colleges/Government Research Establishments including those of CSIR, R&D

establishments of recognized public or private sector, industrial firms and other

recognized institutions however, the candidates qualifying for Lectureship-

NET will be eligible for recruitment as lecturer as well as for JRF-ship in a

Scheme/Project, if otherwise suitable as per the eligibility criteria of that

Scheme/Project.

However, they will not be eligible for Regular JRF-NET Fellowship. They will

be eligible to pursue PhD program with or without any fellowship other than

JRF-NET.
