Knowing the cut-off for CSIR NET Life Science Exem is crucial for setting your preparation goals. The cut-off represents the minimum score required for eligibility, either for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) or Lectureship/Assistant Professor (LS/AP). It's important to differentiate between two types of scores: Qualifying Marks: Set by NTA/CSIR, these are the minimum marks you need to pass the exam. For General/EWS/OBC, it's 33%, and for SC/ST/PwD, it's 25%. Cut-Off Marks: These are usually much higher than qualifying marks, representing the score required to be eligible for JRF or LS/AP, due to intense competition. Typically, the JRF cut-off is higher than the LS/AP cut-off. Normalization and Percentile Scores The CSIR NET Life Science exam is often held in multiple shifts, making it difficult to compare raw marks directly. To ensure fairness, the NTA uses normalization to adjust for any differences in exam difficulty across shifts.
