 PREFACE
This book is written to cater specially for the needs of the students, preparing for CSIR-NET
and MH-SET/SLET examination. The content of the book is framed in accordance with newly
revised CSIR-NET and MH-SET/SLET pattern. We are glad to mention that the book is also
useful for the aspirants preparing for the various competitive examinations like GATE/ UPSC
and other civil service exams.
The book entitled “Physics for CSIR-NET/SET consists of 10 chapters namely, 1. Basic
Mathematical Methods, 2. Classical Dynamics, 3. Electromagnetics, 4. Quantum Physics and
Applications, 5. Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics, 6. Experimental Techniques, 7.
Electronics, 8. Atomic Molecular Physics, 9. Condensed Matter Physics, 10. Nuclear and
Particle Physics. Each chapter is designed as per the newly revised frame work of CSIR-NET/
SET examination pattern and followed with sample MCQ’s at the end of each chapter.

Authors lay no claim to original research while preparing the book. Liberal uses of the materials
available in the works of various eminent authors have been made.
This is an effort to provide a general understanding of various topics introduced for CSIR-
NET/ SET examination and various types of MCQ’s asked for the examination.

Features of the book are:

 Easy to understand
 Lucid explanation of all topics
 Varity of MCQ’s with detailed solutions
We wish to express our appreciation to the colleagues and friends who have contributed
suggestions regarding scope and contained of the book.
Authors are thankful to Mr. Vilas Potdar, Miss. Akshada Bakliwal, Smt. Smita A. Patil and
Smt. Tejashri U. Tupe for their extended support.

Errors might have crept in despite of utmost care to avoid them and authors will be grateful if
they are pointed out along with other suggestion for the improvement of book.

 EXAMINATION SCHEME FOR UGC-SET

a) The SET will be conducted in Objective Mode. The test will consist of two papers.All
thetwopaperswillconsistofonlyobjectivetypequestionsandwillbeheldontheday of
Examination in two separate sessions as under.

Number of Multiple Choice

Session Paper Marks Duration
Questions

50 questions all of which are 1 hour (10.00 a.m.to

First I 50 x 2 = 100
compulsory 11.00 a.m.)

100 questions all of which are 2 hours (11.30 a.m.

Second II 100 x 2 = 200
compulsory to 01.30 p.m.)

b) Paper-I shall be of general nature, intended to assess the teaching/research aptitude of

the candidate. It is primarily designed to test reasoning ability, comprehension,
divergentthinkingandgeneralawarenessofthecandidate.PaperIshallconsistoffifty
(50) objective type compulsory questions of two marks each.
Paper I has 4 sets with 4 different Test Booklet Codes viz. A, B, C, D. Student has to
ensurethatthesameTestBookletCodeispre-printedandpre-shadedontheOMRsheet
(Answer Sheet) of PaperI.
Paper-II shall consist of hundred (100) objective type compulsory questions, based on
the subject selected by the candidate. Each question will carry two marks.
Paper II of each subject has 4 sets with 4 different Test Booklet Codes viz., A, B, C,
D. Student has to write and shade the same Test Booklet Code on the OMR sheet
(Answer sheet) correctly.
There will be no negative marking.

PROCEDURE & CRITERIA FOR DECLARATION OF RESULT FOR
UGC-SET
(Revised Qualifying criteria for UGC-NET to be implemented for SET vide letter No.
F.4-2/90(NET), 5th February 2018, is final and binding).
This will comprise following steps:
Step I: The Candidates are required to obtain minimum marks in aggregate of all two
papers i.e. Paper I &Paper II for eligibility for Assistant Professor as given below:

Minimum Marks (%) To Be Obtained

Category

Paper I Paper II

40% Aggregate Marks In All The Two

General Papers Taken Together

*SC/ST/PH/VH (Disability 40% Or

More)/Transgende OBC/SBC/DT(A)(VJ)/ 35% Aggregate Marks In All The Two
NT(B)/NT(C)/NT(D)/SEBC Papers Taken Together
(Non Creamy Layer Category Only)

Step II: Amongst those candidates who have appeared in all two papers and cleared
step I, a merit list will be prepared subject-wise and category-wise using the aggregate
marks of all the two papers secured by such candidates.
Step III: According to UGC’s directive, 6% of the appearing candidates are to be
declared qualified for Eligibility for Assistant Professor only (Appearing means
appeared in all two papers of SET). The reservation policy prevalent in the State is to
be used to compute the category- wise qualifying slots available for eligibility for
Assistant Professor.
