I made a post recently looking for solid alternative to GATE exam. In that post I mentioned about UGC NET: Is It An Alternative To GATE? I was reluctant to clearly state that it’s an alternative to the GATE exam. But a comment made by Pratik made all doubts clear.
According to CSIR the eligibility will change from December 2012. In a short notice published on official website. CSIR-NET Eligibility condition updates are below.
“CSIR has been conducting Joint CSIR-UGC National Eligibility Test for Junior Research Fellowship and Eligibility For Lectureship in five subjects of science twice a year in the month of June and December.
In order to encourage engineering graduates to pursue PhD, CSIR-NET is being extended to engineering students by introducing a sixth paper in engineering sciences which will be common to all areas of engineering disciplines from December, 2012. The eligibility criteria (educational qualification) for writing the test will be BE, B.Tech or equivalent in engineering with at least 55% marks for general/OBC and 50% marks for SC/ST, Physically and visually handicapped candidates.
Students in the 4th year of the programme will also be eligible to apply.
The syllabus and sample paper will be uploaded in the web by August, 2012”
With this it is clear that B.Tech final year students are eligible CSIR NET for research. This is one of the best decisions taken by CSIR to promote research in India. In coming post I would write more about CSIR laboratories in India and kind of research they conduct in those laboratories.
Also I am working on a guide to PhD in India, and I hope that would help many more students looking for right information and guidance.
Wish you all a great luck ahead and ask you to stay focused.

Respected sir,
with all due respect i want to ask you hw can an engineering student of 2nd or 3rd year contribute in csir research projects?
hi friends
As you all know that ENGINEERING SCIENCES has been introduced this time.But still we don’ t have study material for that in the market
So I’m coming with the required concise material for this ASAP .It will include entirely section B(25 QUESTIONS) which is the most important part of the exam.NOTE: one can easily do 16 questions(56 marks) plus 12 questions of aptitude(24 marks).
It means 80 marks got
Now focus on selected topics of FLUID,SOLID,THERMO,MATERIAL,ELECTRONICS,AND ELECTRICAL.
I will provide everything.
(LETS SUPPOSE TOTAL 8 QUESTIONS YOU DID) it means 40 marks ..total 120(At last suppose 2 negative in each section) bt abot 95 marks you secured.It means EXAM CLEAR.
In this way you have to make a strategy.This can be prepared in 2 to 3 months time.

Sir,
If we give the exam, what is our scope ? I mean do we have to apply separately to institutes which provide research positions?? Or we get inducted into CSIR labs directly??
Am a eligible for CSIR-NET if am 28 yrs, 4months old as on 01-07-2012?
Are btech final year students eligible under RA category… i cant understand.. i have filled up the form under RA as we dont know our final marks but it asks for a certificate from my hod that i hav enrolled for msc or equivalent degree.. what should i do.. will my form be rejected ? pls help
Can any one help me to find sample paper of this exam for Engineering Science???
I have one query regarding CSIR-NET for engineering science. I am done B.Tech in Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering and now I am pursuing M.Tech in Instrumentation. My questions are that
1) Can I appear for this exam?
2) That exam is helpful for lectureship in any govt. college (Engineering or general)? If I can’t qualify for JRF or my age is more than 28yrs but I have a valid NET score then can I get any job in gov. colleges (as general NET qualified student get a chance in for lectureship in Gov. colleges) ?
Kindly let me know the information please.
I almost filled this form, but my exams are in the way. I am pretty confused now. I couldn’t possibly do justice to this paper. But the good news is (and you forgot to mention it in your blog) that this exam is conducted twice a year, june and december. So yay us.
I think my strategy is pretty simple, and may be effective. I am preparing for GATE’13 so that almost covers all of NET syllabus. So I give this exam in December on trial basis. The exam is not in my city too, I don’t understand this. They didn’t choose any major city from gujarat like Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat but chose Bhavnagar. That is very odd.
But it would be great to read a blog describing exactly how this exam would be helpful to an undergrad. As far as I have read, this is to give PhD students a fellowship, which is awesome. But how exactly would that help me?
Hi Sir,
