Joint CSIR-UGC NET December 2026 — Revision Kit
Part A ranked by what the official papers of December 2023 to June 2025 asked (360 questions counted by type), then its rules and methods in that order; then one page for each subject — Chemical, Earth, Life Sciences & Biotechnology, Mathematical and Physical — with the most-asked Part B and C topics by past count and the formulas and facts behind them.
- Part A methods
- Key formulas
- Most-asked topics
- Must-know facts
What is inside
- 1What Part A asks — 360 official questions counted by type, and numbers and algebra, the biggest type
- 2The Part A plan, then the rules and methods for the other ten types, with worked examples from the papers
- 3Chemical Sciences — the most-asked Part B and C topics and the formulas behind them
- 4Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and Planetary Sciences — the sections by past count and the facts they test
- 5Life Sciences & Biotechnology — every old unit by past count, and the new 14-unit syllabus
- 6Mathematical Sciences — Unit I every time, then your stream
- 7Physical Sciences — the core units, the results the papers reuse, and the last week
How to revise with it, page by page
Don't read it like a textbook. Read → close → recall → repeat.
What went into these seven pages
Written from the primary documents, not from other people's notes:
- The official CSIR-HRDG question papers and answer keys of the December 2023, June 2024, December 2024 and June 2025 cycles — every Part A question counted by type and every Part B and C question by syllabus unit.
- The NTA Information Bulletin for the Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2026, the NTA calendar notice of 16.09.2026 and the CSIR-HRDG notices on the Life Sciences and Biotechnology merger and syllabus.
- Every point checked by two AI reviewers (ChatGPT, and DeepSeek or Gemini) against those texts; points they could not agree on were removed.
Three things most material still gets wrong
- Numbers, arithmetic and geometry were 155 of the 360 Part A questions (43%) — the biggest block, not puzzles.
- From December 2026, Life Sciences becomes Life Sciences & Biotechnology with 14 units, not 13.
- Mathematical Sciences Part C gives +4.75 only when every correct option is marked, with no negative marking — unlike the other four subjects.
Every count is tied to the paper and question number it comes from.
Questions
Is it only for the last week before the exam?
No. It is a cheatsheet of the important points, formulas and facts. Keep it on your phone and use it all through your preparation: before a mock, when a topic slips, and for one full read in the final days.
How do I get it after paying?
It's yours the moment the payment clears, and you come straight back to this page with Download and Read buttons. It stays in your ProSyllabus account.
Will the kit be updated after I buy it?
Yes. We regularly correct and improve our kits as syllabi, notifications and exam patterns change. Each time you download from this page you get the latest version, at no extra cost — so check back here from time to time, and download it again before your exam.
Can I pay with UPI?
Yes — UPI, cards or netbanking on a secure payment page. If you already have ProSyllabus credits, they are used instead and nothing is charged.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Page 1 is on this page in full, free — the 360 Part A questions counted by type, the revision order and numbers and algebra. It is the same page you would get.
Is this an official NTA or CSIR document?
No. It is a revision kit compiled by ProSyllabus from the official CSIR-HRDG question papers, the NTA bulletin and the CSIR-HRDG notices. Always check csirnet.nta.nic.in and csirhrdg.res.in.
Does it cover my subject's Part B and C?
Yes, on one page per subject: the most-asked Part B and C topics by past count, and the formulas and facts behind them, with the questions they come from. It is a revision map, not a full syllabus — use your subject books and previous papers for the rest.
The December 2026 bulletin is not out. Is it still current?
It applies the June 2026 bulletin, the latest, and says where the December bulletin may still change things, such as the question count and marking of the new Life Sciences and Biotechnology paper.
What does this kit cover?
Seven pages built by counting the official papers of December 2023 to June 2025: Part A by question type with its methods, then one page per subject with the most-asked Part B and C topics and the formulas behind them. Every point was checked by two independent AI reviewers against the papers and the NTA and CSIR-HRDG notices; what they could not agree on was cut.
