CSIR NET Life Sciences Dec 2025 Cutoff: Will it rise or fall?
CSIR NET Life Sciences Dec 2025 cutoff is expected to be moderate. It will likely be higher than June 2025 but lower than Dec 2023 and 2024. Past trends show high cutoffs in Dec 2023/2024, then a dip in June 2025. A slight increase is predicted for Dec 2025, stabilizing after recent volatility.
Will CSIR NET Life Sciences Cutoff December 2025 Increase or Decrease?
The question on every Life Sciences aspirant’s mind right now is whether CSIR NET Life Sciences cutoff for December 2025 will rise or fall.
Based on last year's trends, you can expect CSIR NET Cutoff December 2025 for Life Sciences to remain moderate, likely higher than June 2025 but significantly lower than December 2023 and 2024.
A drastic increase appears unlikely unless the paper is unusually easy. If the exam maintains a balanced difficulty level, cutoffs may stabilise rather than spike.
If you look closely at the past three sessions, December 2023, December 2024, and June 2025, a clear trend begins to emerge. In December 2023 and December 2024, Life Sciences cutoffs were exceptionally high, crossing the 99 percentile mark for JRF (UR category) and remaining above 97 for Assistant Professor. This was mainly due to normalisation and comparatively moderate paper difficulty. However, the June 2025 session saw a dramatic dip, with JRF cutoffs for Life Sciences falling close to the low-50s percentile range across categories. This sharp correction indicates that the earlier high cutoffs were not sustainable over multiple cycles.
