CSIR NET June 2026 Chemical Sciences Topper Suvon Ghosh AIR 14 Success Story With PW

Suvon Ghosh secured AIR 14 and JRF in CSIR NET June 2026 Chemical Sciences with an impressive 151.5 marks. He is currently pursuing his MSc at IIT Bombay, where he is also managing coursework, lab work and an internship.

His preparation for CSIR NET was not based on starting everything from scratch. Suvon had already built a strong foundation while preparing for IIT JAM. He used his JAM notes for revision, studied new topics through his PW batch, practised DPPs and attempted mock tests.

During his interaction with Physics Wallah, he shared how he managed his preparation along with his busy MSc schedule and explained why staying calm during the three-hour exam is just as important as knowing the concepts.

Suvon Ghosh Secured AIR 14 in CSIR NET June 2026

Suvon scored 151.5 marks and secured AIR 14 with JRF in CSIR NET June 2026 Chemical Sciences.

When asked about his result, Suvon said that he had not expected such a high score.

“Sir, itna achha result hoga, honestly maine expect nahi kiya tha.”

He was already pursuing his MSc at IIT Bombay and had several academic responsibilities to manage. However, his earlier preparation for IIT JAM gave him a useful base for CSIR NET.

How Suvon Used His IIT JAM Preparation for CSIR NET

Suvon had prepared detailed notes during his IIT JAM preparation. Since the CSIR NET syllabus overlaps with JAM to a significant extent, these notes became useful when he started preparing for NET.

He explained:

“JAM ke time pe maine bahut achhe se notes banaye the. NET ka syllabus uska thoda extended version hai, kuch extra topics hain.”

Since he had his JAM notes saved as PDFs, he could continue revising them even after moving to Mumbai.

For the topics that were new to him, he used his PW CSIR NET batch and watched the relevant lectures.

“Jo topic naya tha, uska maine video completely dekha. Jo purana topic tha, uska DPP phir se solve kiya.”

He also attempted mock tests gradually instead of waiting until the final days of preparation.

How PW Lectures, DPPs and Mock Tests Helped

Suvon's preparation focused on using the resources he already had rather than collecting too many new ones.

For familiar topics, he revised his old JAM notes and solved DPPs. For new topics, he watched the relevant PW lectures and studied the accompanying material.

When he had very little time for a particular topic, he also referred to PPT-based notes.

“Time nahi mil raha tha toh PPT ke notes download karke padh leta tha.”

This allowed him to continue his preparation even while managing his MSc schedule, internship and other academic responsibilities.

Suvon Managed CSIR NET Preparation With MSc at IIT Bombay

Studying at IIT Bombay meant that Suvon had to manage more than just exam preparation. His academic schedule included coursework, lab work and an internship, along with different campus activities.

When asked whether the hectic IIT Bombay schedule made preparation more difficult, he said:

“Obviously hectic hai, but jo stress ko manage kar lega, woh exam ke saath life bhi manage kar lega.”

Should Students Study All Three Chemistry Subjects?

Suvon does not recommend completely leaving one of the three Chemistry subjects.

According to him, students should cover Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, while selectively leaving only a few very difficult topics if they are running short of time.

“Kisi ek subject ko completely kyun chhodoge? Sab mein score karne ki jagah hai.”

Suvon’s Advice on Using Books for CSIR NET

Suvon believes standard books are useful, especially for understanding difficult concepts, but students preparing for CSIR NET may not always have enough time to read books cover to cover.

“Books padhna standard practice hai, bahut achhi cheez hai. But honestly, time nahi milega.”

He recommends following lectures and notes first and using books when there is enough time or when a particular topic needs deeper understanding.

“Pehle lecture schedule follow karo, notes pe bharosa karo. Agar time mile toh obviously books padho.”

He also believes that notes made during preparation can remain useful for repeated revision.

How Suvon Managed the Three-Hour CSIR NET Exam

For Suvon, exam temperament played an important role in his performance.

His advice is to avoid panicking if the first few questions seem difficult.

“Pehle agar 5-7 questions skip karne pad rahe hain, toh panic nahi karna.”

He explained that students should move to questions they are comfortable with and return to the difficult ones later.

“Jo ho raha hai pehle woh karo. Agar ek subject mein nahi ho raha, toh doosre mein jo aa raha hai usse start karo.”

He also shared an important mindset for difficult papers:

“Agar mere liye paper tough hai, toh ho sakta hai sabke liye tough ho.”

Suvon’s Message for CSIR NET Aspirants

Suvon's journey shows the importance of building strong notes, revising them repeatedly and practising questions regularly. His IIT JAM preparation gave him a strong base, while PW lectures helped him cover new CSIR NET topics alongside his MSc.

His biggest advice is to stay calm and keep moving during the exam.

“Panic nahi karna. Pehle questions nahi ho rahe hain toh iska matlab ye nahi hai ki poora paper kharab hai.”

For students preparing alongside college, his journey also shows that preparation can be managed with academics and other activities when the available time is used carefully.

What Is Suvon Ghosh’s Next Plan?

After securing AIR 14 and JRF, Suvon is continuing his MSc at IIT Bombay. He is also preparing for GATE while managing his semester examinations, lab work and coursework.

“Abhi GATE ka exam aa raha hai, toh uske liye bhi thoda padhna padega. Saath mein semester exam, lab work aur coursework bhi hai.”

For now, his focus is on managing his MSc responsibilities while preparing for the next examination.

Suvon Ghosh’s CSIR NET journey shows how existing preparation can be used effectively when combined with focused learning and regular practice. By revising his IIT JAM notes, using PW resources for new topics and staying composed during the exam, he secured AIR 14 and JRF in Chemical Sciences.
