CSIR NET Cut off: Dec 2024
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the CSIR NET 2024 cutoff for the December session on its official website soon. The cutoff for the June 2024 session was released on October 15, 2024. For reference, the cutoff for the December 2023 session was published on February 19, 2024, in the previous cycle.
To qualify for CSIR NET, candidates must achieve a minimum of 33% if they belong to the General, EWS, or OBC categories, and at least 25% for those in the SC, ST, and PwD categories. Several factors influence the final cutoff, including the number of test-takers, the number of available positions, and the difficulty level of the question paper.

Key Information about CSIR NET Cut Off & Merit List 2023
The NTA has outlined the following key points:
There is no individual cut-off for parts of the exam in the CSIR NET 2024. The total marks from all three parts are considered when preparing the CSIR NET merit list.
The CSIR NET merit list 2024 ranks all candidates who qualify for the JRF first. These candidates are then categorised under either CSIR or UGC, except those with a Bachelor’s degree, who are allocated to CSIR.
Candidates in the General, EWS, and OBC categories must score at least 33%, while SC, ST, and PwD candidates must score at least 25% for both the fellowship and lectureship.
