There are different kinds of things that fall under the eligibility criteria and checking those things is a must. You need to be eligible to sit for this exam. Here are the points which you must verify-

Nationality

• The candidate must be an Indian citizen.

• Candidates who have done B.Sc or if they are pursuing the Integrated MS-PhD program and have got a minimum 55% marks then they are eligible to apply.
• Candidates, who have completed graduation from a science or engineering background can also get the fellowship, provided they register for the Ph.D. or Ph.D. integrated program within two years.

CSIR NET Physical Science Exam Pattern

A candidate needs to be familiar with the Physical Science exam pattern before visiting the examination hall. The more you are familiar with the pattern the better it will be for your performance. You will be able to track all the tiny details while getting yourself ready for the upcoming exam. Every year there are some changes in the pattern and it becomes impossible to monitor those changes without referring to the pattern.

• Each question will have four alternative responses out of which only one will be correct.
• 25% marks will be deducted for wrong answers.

CSIR NET Physical Science Exam pattern-

Sections	No. of Ques. Given	No. of Ques. to be Attempted	Marks	Neg. Marking
PART-A	20	15	30	0.5
PART-B	25	20	70	0.875

TOTAL MARKS			200

Important Points:

•  If any question provided in the paper is wrong, you will surely get the benefit of the marks assigned to that question, only if you attempt it.
•  The CSIR Physical Science exam question booklet will be available in both languages; English and Hindi.
•  If you opt for Hindi medium, you will come across a bilingual (both Hindi & English) question booklet.
•  If you choose English as your medium, you will get the question booklet in the English language version.
