CSIR-NET Chemical Science — live online batch
JRF and lectureship in one paper. The programme is built for Part B and Part C — the scoring sections — with the concept depth the Part C questions demand.

Modes
What it is
The full 6-month programme as live lectures with recordings, study material, an all-India test series and doubt sessions — ABC's Live Lecture Program for students who cannot come to the metro cities.
Who it suits
Working graduates, students in colleges outside NCR, and anyone who wants the complete course without relocating.
How a batch runs
4 hours of live teaching daily on weekdays, recordings the same evening, topic tests every fortnight, full-length mocks in the final two months, and a doubt window after every class.
Not running now
Classroom batches are not running at present — ABC Chemistry teaches online only. The live online batch is the same course: the same teacher, notes and tests, with recordings of every class.
| Mode | Where | Batch | Tests & material | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online batch | Live online, recorded | 4 hours of live teaching daily on weekdays, recordings the same evening, topic tests every fortnight, full-length mocks in the final two months, and a doubt window after every class. | Chapter/topic tests, marked with feedback; notes & assignments | ₹15,000 · 6-month batch |
What you learn
- Physical: quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetics, electrochemistry, surfaces, solid state, polymers
- Organic: stereochemistry, mechanisms, reagents, pericyclic reactions, photochemistry, heterocycles, natural products, asymmetric synthesis, structure determination
- Inorganic: main group, transition and inner-transition chemistry, organometallics, bioinorganic, characterisation methods, nuclear chemistry
- Interdisciplinary: chemistry in nanoscience, medicinal chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, environmental chemistry
Part C carries 100 of the 200 marks and asks multi-step problems. The batch therefore teaches every topic to problem level, keeps a running Part C question bank per unit, and from month four alternates topic tests with full papers marked to the CSIR scheme.
The exam, in one card
Conducted by
NTA on behalf of CSIR
Pattern
Single 3-hour paper, 200 marks. Part A (general aptitude, 15 of 20 to attempt, 2 marks each), Part B (35 of 40, 2 marks each), Part C (25 of 60, 4 marks each). Negative marking applies in every part.
Eligibility
MSc or equivalent with 55% (50% for reserved categories); BS-MS/BTech/integrated students per the notification; age limit 28 for JRF, none for Lectureship.
By the end of the programme
Part B accuracy drills across all four sections of the syllabus
Part C problem sets by unit, with worked solutions
Full-length mocks on the CSIR pattern with negative-marking strategy
JRF cut-off tracking against your mock scores
Questions parents and students ask
What is the difference between JRF and Lectureship?
The same paper; a higher cut-off qualifies for JRF (a fellowship for PhD) and a lower one for Lectureship (eligibility for Assistant Professor). JRF has an age limit of 28; Lectureship has none.
How long is the batch?
Six months. The previous ABC batch taught 4 hours a day.
Is there an offline batch?
Not at present — classes are online only: live classes with recordings, ₹15,000 for the 6-month batch.
Can I prepare for GATE and NET together?
Yes — the syllabi overlap heavily and the batch is planned so a NET student can sit GATE with a short extra module.
