is CSIR-USC NET also a entrance exam? I want to apply for NET. But I am really confuse for that.

Yes, both are different.

Net is national eligibility test. UGC NET is for getting lectureship eligibility and ph.d admission across top colleges in India. Csir net is also for the same.

Both examination will be conducted twice in a year.

If you are an post graduate in engineering related subjects like earth science, mathematics, chemical science, physical science etc., then you are applicable for csir net examination

If you are a post graduate with arts related subjects like English, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, French, German etc, then you can appear for university grants commission national eligibility test.

There are two NET exams which are given below:

1. UGC NET: This exam is mainly conducted for core subjects like English, Hindi, Geography, Zoology, Botany, Commerce, Economics and many more.

2. CSIR NET: This exam is mainly conducted for Science and Technology subjects like Engineering Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences.

Hence, you can apply according to your qualification. If you have any Engineering degree then apply for CSIR NET. If you have a normal B.Sc degree then apply for UGC NET. Both are different exams but you will get the same benefits after qualifying. Syllabus is different according to the kind of subject.

No, CSIR NET and UGC NET exam are not same.

UGC NET exam is conducted for both lectureship and JRF posts but CSIR NET is conducted for JRF post only.

Those candidates who have completed masters degree from a recognized university are eligible for UGC NET and 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.

Age criteria for UGC NET/CSIR NET exam:-

For JRF Post :-Your age should be below 28 years.(Same for CSIR NET)

For Lectureship Post :-There is no age criteria.
