3. What Is the CSIR NET Cut Off?
The cut off is the minimum score required to qualify. NTA uses a cumulative score across all parts and sets separate cut offs for each subject (Life Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Earth Sciences) and each eligibility category (JRF, Assistant Professor, Ph.D.) .
4. Minimum Qualifying Marks (General vs Reserved Categories)
The baseline qualifying percentages set by NTA are:
General / EWS / OBC: 33%
SC / ST / PwD: 25%
These apply across all categories including JRF, Assistant Professor, and Ph.D. eligibility.
5. Subject-wise & Category-wise Expected Cut Off – June 2025
Based on trend analysis from multiple educational news sources, here are the expected ranges (percentile scores):
| Subject | UR/EWS/OBC (JRF) | UR/EWS/OBC (Assistant Professor) | SC/ST/PwD (JRF) | SC/ST/PwD (Assistant Professor) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical Sciences | 110–115 | 95–100 | 85–90 | 75–80 |
| Life Sciences | 105–110 | 90–95 | 80–85 | 70–75 |
| Mathematical Sciences | 100–105 | 85–90 | 75–80 | 65–70 |
| Physical Sciences | 105–110 | 90–95 | 80–85 | 70–75 |
| Earth Sciences | 95–100 | 80–85 | 70–75 | 60–65 |
These are indicative ranges only, derived from past years’ trends and subject realities. Official cut offs will be released by NTA
