Test Schedule
NET-2020 Online Registration
• Candidates may occur with the highest secured marks for admission in the entry exam more than
once. However, only one effort is permitted for a specific discipline.

NET are recommended to check all relevant textbooks from different educational boards.
• NET takes place at three places, namely Islamabad (NUST Campus), Karachi and Quetta.
The students who have taken NET tests tell that the NET-I is relatively easy because it comprises of the
MCQs mostly from the 1st year syllabus. And it becomes easy for the students to clear it. NET-II is held
when the FSc 2nd year exams are near. Students can also participate in those exams if they find it feasible
because the preparation of exams is more necessary. NET-II is again an excellent chance to improve your
marks, and at that time, students are free from 2nd-year exams so they can focus easily on this test.
