OVERVIEW

CSIR successfully conducted Joint CSIR UGC NET June 2019 Exam for Junior Research
Fellowship (JRF) and Lectureship (LS) in offline mode on 16th June 2019 for subjects such
as Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Chemical Sciences and Physical
Sciences. As per the analysis or Review of June Aspirants, we have found that June 2019 Exam
was quite Difficult as compared to previous Exam. As per the analysis of June 2019 life Science
Paper, most of the question were Direct, Deep Concept Based, Tricky and Experimental.

CSIR conducts UGC NET Exam for determining the eligibility of Indian Nationals for the award
of Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) and for determining eligibility for appointment as Lecturer
(LS) in the areas of Chemical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical
Sciences, Physical Sciences. The award of Junior Research Fellowship 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.
