The University Grants Commission (UGC) NET Bureau revised its syllabus for UGC NET in Electronic Science in June, 2019 and the same syllabus will be applicable for the upcoming UGC NET / JRF and SET or SLET examination. The detailed syllabus for paper-1 can be found at UGC NET Syllabus for Paper-1. The details of syllabus of Paper-2 can be downloaded in the pdf format from the following link:
Electronic Science UGC NET Syllabus for Paper-2 (New and Updated)
The UGC NET examination old syllabus which was applicable till December, 2018 can be downloaded in the pdf format from the following link. Kindly note that this syllabus is considered as outdated and now not applicable for the upcoming UGC NET examination in Electronic Science. You can use it only for your reference purpose.
Electronic Science UGC NET Syllabus for Paper-2 (Old or Previous)
The detailed UGC NET old syllabus in Electronic Science is given below.
NTA UGC NET/JRF/SET/SLET Syllabus for Electronic Science, Code No: 88 is given below
The following part of the UGC NET syllabus were previously under UGC NET Paper-2 and Paper-3 (Part-A and Part-B), however, as UGC has now only two papers i.e. UGC NET Paper-1 which is general and compulsory for all subjects and UGC NET Paper-2 on the specific subject (including all electives, without options) instead of previous three papers i.e. UGC NET Paper-1 which was general and compulsory for all subjects and UGC NET Paper-2 and Paper-3 on the specific subject, so, now-a-days, the following part is also considered as part of the UGC NET Paper-2 syllabus.
