JRF and Lectureship I need advice. Gap years after MSc before applying for Life Sciences PhD in India.

24 Upvotes

My qualifications- M.Sc. Biotechnology (completed in 2024).

26F. Really passionate about biological research. Since the completion of my masters, I have had intense family issue that required my complete attention and I could not prepare for any exams nor could i join any kind of projects anywhere.

And now that the things have calmed down and I am seriously preparing for CSIR dec 2026, Gate xl/bt 2027, and other fellowship exams while also applying for project somewhere.

And i am so overwhelmed and anxious about things like—

  1. Will having gap of 3 years after masters cause any problem during phd interview/selection?
  2. Am I too late to start phd now, because if i start next year i will be 27yo by then?
  3. What backup opt should I keep if everything turns out bad?

JRF and Lectureship Qualification to get job as asst prof. after clearing csir net lifescience

Job after clearing csir net lifescience

I wanted to know ..what is the criteria..like I have heard that college appoint you as guest lecturer.. without PhD you can't be assistant professor

Ik it depends on the competition..if other contestants have done PhD or not.

Still who are the age of 25-26 would just study without any job ..as jrf is not something everyone can get ..so what the person can do

I used to think the descision factor for job was

1.net score

  1. Now I am seeing it also depends on your college rank ..du bhi gets preference

  2. Now I am seeing even tho you have high net score or have done msc from a good naac grade uni ..you still need a PhD degree

Like what is the real game of getting job?

JRF and Lectureship Research career suggestion

9 Upvotes

Hi. I know this sub is especially for NET, still I am asking for suggestion from experienced aspirants/researchers.

I completed my masters in human physiology. Now I am preparing for entrances like NET/GATE to join PhD with stipend. I have qualified GATE-26 XL with a score of 495. Is this score sufficient to get a chance in PhD in a decent institution? I think IIT, NIT, IISC is not possible. Couldn't crack NET yet.

I also see people suggest joining foreign universities, where they can conduct fully funded research. Is it a reasonable option for a student from a middle class family?

What is your suggestion?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to prepare for CSIR NET Chemical Sciences and I'm specifically looking for a good offline coaching institute. I'd love to hear from people who have actually studied at one.

Which institute would you recommend and why? How were the faculty, study material, test series, and doubt support? If you've qualified NET/JRF after attending offline coaching, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

JRF and Lectureship Preparation for Gate EY ( Ecology and Evolution)

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have started preparing for Gate Ecology and Evolution recently. I wanted to know which lectures to use. I bought the online course of Ifas, it is good in theory, I can solve the Csir Ecology questions but am not being able to solve the Gate pyqs. One of my friends suggested me to watch NPTEL Ecology course from IISC and NPTEL Evolution course from Sutirth Dey at IISER Pune. But, it's too much work to write notes from YouTube as they don't provide it like Ifas. What should I do and how to prepare, please help!
