For Part B, there was 1 question, carrying a total of 3 marks. In Part C, candidates faced 3 questions, collectively worth 14.25 marks. This highlights the substantial weightage given to Ordinary Differential Equations in the exam, emphasizing the importance of mastering this topic for a strong performance.
| February 2022 | Question | Marks |
| Part B | 2 | 6 |
| Part C | 2 | 9.5 |
In the February 2022 CSIR NET exam, the Ordinary Differential Equations section included questions in both Part B and Part C. Specifically, Part B contained two questions, each worth 6 marks, making it crucial for candidates aiming to score well. Part C also featured two questions, but each of these was valued at 9.5 marks, highlighting the significant emphasis placed on this topic within the exam structure.
| November 2020 | Question | Marks |
| Part B | 2 | 6 |
| Part C | 3 | 14.25 |
In the November 2020 CSIR NET exam, the Ordinary Differential Equations section presented candidates with a mix of questions in both Part B and Part C. Part B included two questions, each worth 6 marks. Part C was more challenging, featuring three questions, each carrying 14.25 marks. This distribution underscores the importance of mastering Ordinary Differential Equations to excel in the exam.

Conclusion:
The analysis of the CSIR NET exam patterns from June 2023, September 2022, February 2022, and November 2020 highlights the key areas of focus within Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). First Order ODE and Initial Value Problems (IVPs) consistently appear in both Part B and Part C, with June 2023 showing a significant weightage with 1 question in Part B and 3 questions in Part C. The General Theory of ODE and Second Order ODE also play an important role, particularly noted in February 2022, where it was covered in both parts of the exam. The System of ODEs shows variability, with notable appearances in September 2022 and November 2020. Finally, Boundary Value Problems, though less frequent, were highlighted in the exams of February 2022 and November 2020 in Part C. Understanding these patterns is crucial for effective preparation, as it directs focus towards topics with historically significant weightage, thereby enhancing the strategic approach to studying for the CSIR NET.
