To check their CSIR NET results, candidates are required to log in using their application number and date of birth. The NTA has also notified that no hard copies of scorecards will be sent by post or email, and candidates must download them directly from the portal.
The CSIR NET December session was conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode on February 28, March 1, and March 2, 2025, across 326 centres in 164 cities. A total of 2,38,451 candidates registered, and 1,74,785 appeared for the exam. Among the five subjects offered, Chemical Sciences saw the highest number of participants, with 39,452 candidates appearing in the second shift on February 28.

As per the final update, two questions were dropped from the exam, and the NTA has awarded marks to all candidates who attempted those questions. The final answer key, which has now been used for result processing, was prepared based on expert-reviewed objections submitted against the provisional key, which was available from March 11 to March 14, 2025.
