Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) NET and for determining eligibility for
appointment of Lecturers (NET) in certain subject areas falling under the
faculty of Science & Technology. The award of Junior Research Fellowship
(NET) to the successful eligible candidates will depend on their finding
admission/placement in a university/ national laboratory/institution of higher
learning and research, as applicable.
A candidate may apply either for
‘JRF’ OR for ‘Lectureship (LS) only’ He/she may indicate his/her
preference in the Online Application, as the case may be. CSIR may consider
candidates for ‘JRF’, or ‘Lectureship only” depending on number of fellowships
available & performance in the test subject to the condition that they
fulfill the laid down eligibility criterion. If a candidate is found to be
over-age for JRF (NET) he/she will automatically be considered for Lectureship
(NET) only, except
for Engineering Sciences. Engineering Sciences candidates will only be eligible
for CSIR JRF ship and are advised to opt for JRF only in the application form.
Two separate merit lists, one comprising the candidates
qualifying for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF - NET) and the
second, of those candidates qualifying

for Lectureship (NET), will be made on the basis of their performance in the
above Test. Candidates qualifying for JRF (NET), except Engineering Sciences
will also be eligible for Lectureship (NET) subject to fulfilling the eligibility
criteria laid down by UGC. The candidates qualifying for Lectureship will be
eligible for recruitment as Lecturers as well as for JRF-ship in a Scheme/Project,
if otherwise suitable. However, they will not be eligible for Regular
