CSIR NET June 2026 Mathematical Sciences
This paper is not solved on this site yet. NTA published the final answer key to the candidate portal only — you need your own application number and password to open it — and the question paper was shown the same way, during the objection window that has now closed. Nothing can be transcribed from a public document, so nothing has been. What is below is the official record of the sitting, every figure read off NTA’s own notices and linked at the bottom.

The cut-off
CSIR-HRDG has not published the June 2026 cut-off. When it does, it arrives as a PDF on csirhrdg.res.in and the figure appears here and on the cut-off table. Until then this site has no number for it — the ranges circulating elsewhere are predictions, and none of them is the exam’s.
What is already fixed is the benchmark, which every one of these documents states in the same words: 33% of the aggregate for general categories and 25% for reserved ones. It is a floor, not a cut-off — clearing it qualifies nobody by itself.
For scale, the most recent published cycle, December 2025, cut off at 42% for JRF (UR) and 37.8% for Assistant Professor. Every published cut-off, with its source document →
