The CSIR NET Physical Science syllabus tests the candidate on fundamental concepts of physics and mathematical techniques. Some of the major areas covered in the syllabus are Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetic Theory, Thermodynamics, and Statistical Physics. Other important areas are Mathematical Methods of Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Electronics, and Experimental Techniques. Along with these, aspirants also need to study and focus on Relativity, Condensed Matter Physics, and Nuclear and Particle Physics. The syllabus tests a candidate’s theoretical knowledge as well as problem-solving skills. For effective preparation, the candidates would require strong grounding in undergraduate and postgraduate-level physics. Prior practice of previous years’ question papers and study of the CSIR NET examination pattern helps achieve a very good score. As the syllabus tests the ability of the candidate to apply their physics knowledge for practical problems it requires research levels of proficiency. Comprehensive preparation of all topics is the key to success.
