I am in 3rd year of B.Sc Physical Education course from a private college and willing to do research after it. Should I appear in NET JRF exam? Pattern of NET JRF exam?

I am sorry to say that you cannot apply JRF and cannot appear in the NET JRF after the completion of B.Sc course as you are not eligible for it.
Candidates those who have completed their Masters degree in the relevant field from a recognized University with a minimum of 55% of marks in it are eligible to appear in the NET-JRF examination for research.

No, B.Sc is not enough to apply for NET JRF exam. You need at least a M.Sc degree to apply for it. Those who have professional degree like B.Tech or MBBS or B.Pharma can apply for NET JRF.

Hence, you are not eligible for it because you don't have a masters degree. Just make sure you have masters in the required subject before applying.

No, B.Sc in Physical Education candidates are not eligible for NET JRF post.

Those candidates who have completed masters degree from a recognized university are eligible for CSIR NET exam. General and OBC candidates should hold 55% and above marks in masters degree. For SC/ST candidate its 50% and above in masters degree.

Your age should be below 28 years.

Research Fellowship are given to candidate after Masters. You need to conplete your Masters and then only you will ne eligible. You can then apply for JRF directly as per vacancies by various institutes OR you can appear in NET and then go for JRF in Universities. In coming years,all JRF will be required to pass NET so better be prepared. For JRF, through NET, age limit is 28years maximum and marks should be above 55% in Masters. For other direct interviews, marks varies.
