I have recently qualified for JRF, and I am thinking of joining a university. However, the university interview dates are scheduled for the end of November, and I am worried about failing the interview. What if, by then, all the vacant seats in affiliated colleges have been filled

This is my first time applying for net so I'm confused. I saw that ugc net dates have been extended. But in one of the PDFs i downloaded from the site, it says csir ugc net dates from 7th oct till 5th nov.

I'm finding it difficult to balance revision with completing the remaining CSIR NET syllabus. Whenever I sit down to revise older topics, I feel like I'm losing time that I could use to cover new units. At the same time, I'm worried I'll forget what I've already studied if I don't revise regularly. How are you guys managing both, and what kind of study plan is working for you?

I am applying for ugc net examination..

I have a big doubt..

I currently don't have EWS certificate neither acknowledgment no? But i'm trying to make it..last date is 28 Oct 2026

So can i apply under Gen EWS right now..and under applied category...and it also asks - acknowledgement no.. So there i will put 00000

And since correction window is 2oct - 4oct...

Till that time if i get the acknowledgement number i will put it..

Or otherwise I'll change the category from EWS to Gen?

Can i do this?

Since it is little risky?

Maybe it can have bad consequences

Hello everyone!

I'm planning to appear for the UGC NET Political Science exam in June 2027, and I would really appreciate some guidance from people who have already prepared for or cleared the exam

As I'm literally a beginner and also working so It would really helpful if you guys can suggest me:

1. Online coaching: Which online course or batch would you recommend for UGC NET Political Science? How are platforms like eduseeker, adda247, or shubra ranjan mam's course or other coaching institutes?

2. As I'm already working so I can manage 4 to 6 hours of study so is it doable to crack jrf with this amount of time?

3. And also please suggest some good youtube channels and other free sources for paper 1 and 2

Guys I would appreciate if some of you can help me!!

Thankyou!!

Guys recently I have qualified for csir net JRF...But what i have learned watching people's interview experience is that what's asked in the interviews are completely diff from theory that I learned so far...So can anyone help me how to prepare for such interviews for places like Csir/bric institutes....Is there any channel on YT or any source to be able to practice how to think in the right direction..Can anyone share their experience...it will be of great help

Does anyone have same issue , what can I do?

While solving previous-year questions from molecular biology, some questions on DNA replication, transcription regulation and DNA repair seem confusing because more than one option appears scientifically correct.

The difficulty is usually understanding what the question specifically expects rather than remembering the basic concept. Is it better to revise these topics directly from standard textbooks or focus on PYQs to understand how CSIR frames its questions?

And if anyone has news about the rectification ongoing in GATE application do let me know.

Hi everyone, I need advice regarding UGC-NET JRF activation.

I cleared UGC-NET JRF in 2025 under the General-EWS category. My EWS certificate was valid at that time, and my JRF Award Letter was issued based on that EWS category. I still have the original EWS certificate and the JRF Award Letter.

In 2026, I got PhD admission at an institute. However, this admission was under the General/Unreserved category, not EWS, because my EWS certificate had expired by then.

Now I want to activate my JRF. My questions are:

1. Can I activate the JRF under the same EWS category in which it was originally awarded, even though my PhD admission was under General category?

2. Will my original 2025 EWS certificate be accepted for document verification, since it was valid when I qualified for and received the JRF?

3. Or will the institute/UGC require a new EWS certificate for FY 2026–27 at the time of joining/JRF activation?

I understand that the JRF category is based on the category selected during the NET examination, while PhD admission category is separate. But I am worried that the expired EWS certificate may create a problem during document verification or while uploading the joining report.

So I am currently preparing for CSIR NET exam and all I got is barely 2 months for the preparation and the exams🙂So my problem is I am a perfectionist and need to write down every thing for my satisfaction...so I lost most my the time for writing and now I didn't get time for revision...

so currently I am taking online classes and 3 months have passed successfully writing notes and nothing retains in my memory anymore...so next week onwards I am planning to quit writing and just gobthrouh the slides and grasp the concept..

So can y'all suggest some effective ways to memorise things and retain those info efficiently and provide some tips for these types of competitive exams🙂🤌
