Considering your educational background, the best option available for you in the CSIR NET examination is Life Sciences.MSc in Environmental Science and BSc in Zoology cover the major areas of life sciences from ecology, physiology to genetics, molecular biology, and environmental biology topics where you have your existing knowledge and could prove to have the strongest base. Earth sciences are mainly concerned with the study of things like geophysics, geology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and even if you have a few common topics in environmental sciences, you cannot expect that your background from zoology helped much in covering the needed geological content. Take Life Sciences as your subject into the examination and focus on treasuring your understanding of core concepts mainly ecology and development of biodiversity.

Eligibility for the CSIR NET Physics exam depends on the applicant's master's degree and related field of study. If the subject has important content related to physics A Master's degree in Renewable Energy may also be considered. CSIR NET is primarily aimed at applicants with a degree in the physical sciences, such as an M.Sc. in Physics. Applied Physics or related field of study If your renewable energy course covers basic physics topics such as energy systems, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. or an electromagnet that you may qualify for.Academic performance is also important. General, EWS and OBC applicants must have a minimum of 55% marks in aggregate in their graduation level. While SC/ST/PWD candidates must have at least 50% marks if Renewable Energy is an inter-subject. Ensure that transcripts reflect physics-related courses. This will help strengthen your application when applying to study Physical Sciences.There are also age limits. Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) has a maximum age of 28 years, with lenient conditions for reserved categories. However, there is no age limit for Lecturer or Assistant Professor roles. Check CSIR NET official notification or contact CSIR NET helpline to confirm your eligibility.

With an 85 percentile in the CSIR NET Life Sciences exam, your eligibility depends on the cutoff percentiles set for Assistant Professor, Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), and Ph.D. admissions. Generally: 1. JRF: The cutoff percentile for JRF is typically higher than for the Assistant Professor role and varies each year. In many cases, it ranges above 90 percentile, so an 85 percentile might not qualify you directly for JRF if the cutoff is higher. 2. Assistant Professor: The eligibility for the Assistant Professor role has a relatively lower cutoff. Often, scoring in the range of 80-85 percentile can be sufficient, but this again depends on the category-specific cutoffs, which can vary. 3. Ph.D. Programs: Many universities accept CSIR NET scores for Ph.D. admissions. With an 85 percentile, you should be eligible to apply, though acceptance will also depend on the specific requirements of the university or research institution.
