CSIR NET Minimum Qualifying Marks 2026
| Category | Minimum Benchmark |
| General / EWS / OBC | 33% |
| SC / ST / PwD | 25% |
Note: This is the minimum benchmark to be considered for qualification. It is NOT the same as the competitive subject-wise JRF cut-off, which is usually higher and varies by subject and category — check the official cut-off notice for exact 2026 subject-wise figures.
Understanding Qualification Categories
| Category | Eligible For |
| Category 1 | Both Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor/Lectureship |
| Category 2 | Assistant Professor/Lectureship only |
| Category 3 | PhD Admission only (not eligible for JRF or Assistant Professor) |
Even if you miss the JRF cut-off, qualifying at a lower category still gives you a valid credential for PhD admission or teaching eligibility — check your scorecard’s exact qualifying status.
Previous Year (June 2024) Cut-Off Trend — For Reference Only

Important: Life Sciences cut-off is normalised on a percentile basis, so raw percentage marks are not directly comparable. Cut-offs change every session based on paper difficulty and number of qualifiers — treat this table only as a trend reference, not the actual 2026 figure. Check the official CSIR NET Cut-Off notice for exact June 2026 numbers.
