Kindly Note:
There is no separate cut-off for Part A, B & C. The cumulative marks of all parts are taken into consideration for drawing of merit
list.
The date of declaration of Joint CSIR-UGC Junior Research Fellowship & Eligibility for Lecturership (NET) Exam held on
th
18 June, 2017 is 30/11/2017.
Candidates with Bachelors Degree are eligible for Fellowship only as per the Clause 2.2 of our Notification.
Ranks are allotted first to all successful candidates qualifying for Junior Research Fellowship as per the merit list of JRF and then
the candidates are distributed between CSIR and UGC in the ratio of number of fellowships shared between these two for each
subject except Bachelors degree holders who are allocated to CSIR.
There is a minimum bench mark of 33 % for General & OBC category and 25 % in respect of SC/ST and PwD categories for both
fellowship and lecturership. (In the earlier table, inadvertantly the cut-off percentage was mentioned as 31.39 % for OBC category
under Lecturership (NET) in Physical Science subject. This has been corrected to 33.00 %)
CSIR HRDG is not responsible for any inadvertent error that may have crept in the result being published on internet.
