Selection Process
- Computer-Based Test: Candidates appear for the CSIR UGC NET examination in their selected science subject. The paper evaluates subject knowledge, analytical ability and research aptitude.
- Result and Merit Determination: NTA processes the responses, applies the final answer key and publishes marks, percentile scores and qualifying status based on the prescribed criteria.
- Eligibility and Document Verification: Qualified candidates must present educational, category and identity documents to the concerned university, research institution or appointing authority. Issuance of a scorecard does not replace institutional verification.
