We were expecting these changes from long time.
ReplyDeleteWhatever changes happen, if u prepare well and have basics right, one can get JRF.
Good luck guys....
VERY TOUGH CHANGE AS NOW PREPARTION REQUIRED PERFECT SUBJECT BASICS WITH ANALYTICAL &,RESERACH APTITUDE TO BE FOCUSED AND EVEN MORE PRACTICE IS REQUIRED AS THE TIME TIME DURATION IS REDUCED .AN AND SUBJECT PART IS LESS .LAST C SECTION SCIENTIFIC BASED PEOBLEMS ARE INCRESED . SO ITS TOUGH FOR BIO STUDENT AS BIO STUDENTS SOME WHAT WEAK IN PROBLEMATIC PART .NOW ITS TOUGH TIME FOR BIOSTUDENTS .
ReplyDeletethe exam pattern has been revised to make it convenient for STUDENTS BUT the older exam pattern was far better for selection of appropriate candidates............SORY TO HEAR THAT THERES NO DESCRIPTIVE TYPE QUESTIONS ..............ANYWAYS ALL THE BEST FRIENDS............
ReplyDeletechange shud be needed..but it may not be worthful..previous pattern is well suited for the csir exam..no other exam is having til now the descriptive pattern..i think csir may lose its identity now..
ReplyDeletewell..time to make ur path in curious way and hit the stones of choices.
gud luck..
Its very bad to change the pattern of exam now students can give any one of the option easily so quality of good students may reduces. Instead of this old pattern in a single paper is better by reducing no of questions
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I like it. It will be better than this whole day wastage .
ReplyDeleteOnly one thing i want from CSIR, to publish the list of books and study materials. This will help lot of students to get the correct material to study and get JRF. Most of time i used to surprise the source of the question.......
Thanking You for this good news.
Its really nice bcoz it will select right candidates who are clear in basics. It wil enhance scientific approach.It should be done previously. Should welcome.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting change in this national level test from long time its good to see chnge in everything.Its good decision for making NET exam in full of MCQs but it will become tough for the life science students due to their lack knowledge in analytical type questions.all over its a good decision i expected for this...GOOD LUCK DEARS......
ReplyDeletegood, finally a good decision by csir which was expected earlier..all the best guys----SARANG W. AKOLA
ReplyDeletei believe the new format will be more challenging
ReplyDeleteIt is very bad to change the pattern of exam now students can give any one of the option easily so quality of good students may reduces. Thank you for this good news.
ReplyDeleteIts a very good news for every science students student as well as scholar who looking for NET.
ReplyDeleteespecially for those students who joined research, they have no more time to regular studies, they get maximum benefit.
Its great for those students who have fobia from descriptive type questions. This sounds easy for all streams. I would like to say to the students of life sciences that part C is not much difficult, because in the multiple choices at least you may have option to check that the answer, which you are expecting is mentioned or not in the multiple choices. If your expected answer is not in the choices then you can rethink about the right answer. But in old descriptive answer you could never knew that whether your solved answer was right or wrong. Just be clear for your basic concepts and apply logics at the time of deciding answers, defenitely you all can crack JRF. Good luck to all aspirants.
ReplyDeleteIf one is strong in basics then whatever the pattern get changed, the success is ours.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.

Actuall this pattern is more good...And will judge a student better in his subject & accuracy....
ReplyDeleteI think the new exam pattern is far better then older one bc now student focus more in their subject to increas accuracy in MCQ
ReplyDeletereally good nd exciting now u r much free to study
ReplyDeleteVery good and long waiting step taken by CSIR.
ReplyDeleteYa it is tougher for fresher Msc people bcoz thy dnt have still developed analytical n reasoning skills which only comes whn u do things practically
ReplyDeletegood that the exam pattern has changed to objective. But it is very much heartening to see future research students selected on the basis of an exam rather than a personnel interview.Exam will help only to pick out students who study well. It is good to read and understand basic science , but people who study well are not always a good researcher.
ReplyDeleteI THING IT IS A GOOD CHANGE :>........
ReplyDeleteit is vry vry nice pattern which is vry useful knowledgeable person.finally t thank to our csir council all the best
