Human Resource Development (HRDG) has published the CSIR NET Syllabus on its official site for all 5 topics. Candidates can choose the subject when completing their online application. The CSIR NET exam consists of three parts, A, B, and C. The Part A syllabus is the same for everyone, while the Part B and C syllabuses are entirely dependent on the candidates’ chosen subjects.
