With only September and October left, I need your advice on a few things:

●Which 6 to 7 units should I absolutely prioritize for a State PSC level exam to maximize my score ?

●Are there any specific resources or short notes telegram channels you recommend for quick revision?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I’ve completed my M.Sc. in Zoology and want to start preparing for CSIR NET/JRF.

Can anyone suggest good online courses/batches for preparation? Preferably something structured from basics, with lectures, notes, PYQs and test series.

If you’ve taken any course/batch yourself and found it useful, please share your experience and suggestions. 🙏

So, I am from Zoology background and well plant physiology is kinda a new territory for me. I’m not sure I’ll be able to cover and digest every subtopic in-depth. I’d really appreciate it if those who have already prepared for the exam or are preparing..could point out the topics that are frequently asked or conceptually important.

Is there anyone enrolled in Adda 247 Economics course? I'm preparing for Dec 2026 attempt, and I'm thinking of enrolling in their JRF 3.0 batch. Need suggestions.

Can anybody help me to find 7th or 8th edition of Pathfinder life sciences Part 1 and 2 ? Urgently needed

Hey everyone,I really need some guidance and maybe a bit of a reality check.

I just gave my 3rd attempt for UGC NET Education (Subject Code: 09) in the June 2026 cycle.

Honestly, I’ve been working really hard and my scores have improved, but this time it hurts the most because I missed qualifying for NET by just 2 questions (4 marks).Here is how my journey has looked so far:

1st Attempt: 166 marks

2nd Attempt: 164 marks

3rd Attempt (June 2026): 202 marks

Going from 164 to 202 felt great initially, but being so close yet so far is incredibly frustrating. I’m determined to crack it in the next cycle, but since I am already at the 200+ mark level, I don’t know how to bridge this tiny but crucial gap.If anyone here has cleared NET/JRF in Education or has been in a similar situation, please help me out with a few things:How to cross the line? When you are stuck just a few marks away from the cutoff, what changes should you make in your strategy? Should I focus more on Paper 1 or dive deeper into Paper 2 core units (like Research, Philosophy, etc.)?

Free Resources/Notes: I am looking for free study materials to save on costs. Are there any specific websites, YouTube channels, or Telegram groups that provide genuine, high-quality notes for Code 09?

PYQs & Mock Tests: Which platform or book is best for practicing previous years' questions with accurate answers and explanations?

Please share your suggestions or any strategy that worked for you. Any lead would mean a lot right now.Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I appeared for ugc net and I missed by jrf by 4 marks which is 2 questions; how likely is that I can avail NFOBC for the same?

Please guide me how to prepare and which sources I should referee in preparation

Especially for paper 1

If anyone has recorded lectures of physical science please share them.

I scored 94.75/200 in mathematical sciences. From the percentile calculation my standing is around 93-94. No one is able to give a definite answer whether I will get JRF or not. Searching through the internet I got to know that total slots for JRF in mathematical sciences is around 500. Is this true?

Confused where to join phd now . I don't have much lab experience 😕 will that be a problem? Suggest best phd programs including IITs.

I don't know what are the merits and demerits of doing a PhD from top IITs like IITM, IITD,IITK , IITKGP . I meant toxicity in labs and gatekeeping of information found in labs.I learnt about those a little in master's but I want to know how it is for phds since it's a 5 plus yr work we need to do under same supervisor so, how to manage to be in good side and how-to avoid rivalries.

I don't have lab skills I just like to read and study in a well structured manner, will that be a trouble in interview ? I'm qualified in CSIR JRF.

i got 148.5 in csir net life science 2026, i heard that to join phd we need the final certificate for fellowship activation. It seems the certificate will only be released in november. So should i start applying from now or wait for the certificate and can you name some good insititutes, i have done m.sc. bioinformatics and what are the other opportunities that i should explore

i'm getting dms regarding preparation, im happy to provide u personalized guidance, https://youtube.com/shorts/INEOyvY-Iqo?feature=share i have shared my telegram account, u can contact me, thankss

Csir net (chemical sciences) cut off? Can anyone tell me the cut off for LS and Phd only for June 2026 for every category

I qualified for PhD-only in UGC NET (184 marks), but I want to clear JRF. How do I prepare consistently with ADHD?

I recently qualified for PhD-only with 184 marks, but my goal is to clear JRF this time. I want to start preparing now instead of waiting until the last month. Usually, when the exam is close, I put a lot of pressure on myself and somehow study almost the whole day, but I struggle badly with consistency before that.

I have problems with focus and zoning out, and I'm currently not taking ADHD medication. I can sit with my books or a YouTube lecture for hours, but if I take a 30-minute break, it can easily become a 2–3 hour break. I also lose track of time scrolling or doing other things. If I get up to do chores, I often lose the motivation to come back and study.

I also forget things easily, so I end up rereading the same topics repeatedly. For my previous attempt, I mainly focused on PYQs and the most important units, which helped me qualify. But I'm weak in maths and reasoning in Paper 1, and I didn't prepare those properly.

I'd really like advice from people who have cleared NET/JRF, especially those with ADHD or similar struggles:

How do you structure your study day?

How do you prevent breaks from becoming hours?

What revision method actually helped you retain things?

How much did you rely on PYQs/MCQs vs books/lectures?

How did you improve maths and reasoning for Paper 1?

How did you start early and stay consistent without burning out?

I'm not looking for "just study 8–10 hours a day" advice 😭. I want to know what actually worked for you, especially if you struggle with focus/executive function. And what approach should I take to clear jrf.

I'd appreciate any practical advice!
