The status of SET was decreed to remain unchanged for SET examinations conducted prior to 1 June 2002, that is, the candidates clearing SET were eligible for appointment to the post of lecturer anywhere in India.

The candidates who qualify the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) Examination of UGC/CSIR NET are also eligible for the post of lectureship. In addition they are also eligible to receive Fellowships (UGC/CSIR) under various schemes subject to the candidates finding their placement in the universities/IITs/other national organizations. The validity of the offer is currently within two years with effect from the date of issue of the JRF award letter. The validity period of the offer has been raised from one year to two years for JRF Award Letters issued on or after 1 May 2005. However, in case the candidates have already joined M.Phil. /Ph.D. programs, the date of commencement of fellowship will be from the date of declaration of NET examination result or date of their joining, whichever is later.

Subject wise CSIR-NET
NET exam conducting by CSIR comprises 5 basic science subjects: Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Physical Sciences. There are near about 35 CSIR labs all over India. Majority of the labs focuses on the direct application of science and technology on common man. The number of successful candidates in CSIR-NET is less than 4 % of the total applied candidates. The number of successful candidate in different subjects differ with the requirement of the labs. Biology enjoys maximum success rate, followed by Chemistry, Earth Sciences. The success rate over Mathematics and Physics is much less compared to Chemistry and Biology because of the high number of CSIR labs specializing in Biology and Chemistry.
