CSIR score cards can be used for Phd admissions 

The University Grants Commission (UGC), in March this year, announced that the CSIR NET scores can be used for admissions into PhD programmes in Indian universities and colleges starting from the 2024-25 academic session. 

As a part of the move, a new category -- category 3 for eligibility for admission to PhD programme -- was introduced in the exams. 

When CSIR NET was postponed from its initial date

The June edition of the Joint Council of Scientific and Industrial Research National Eligibility Test (CSIR NET) was postponed from its initial date which sparked the speculations of paper leaks and irregularities in the conduct of the exam along with similar allegations in conduct of other exams (such as NEET) at that time. 

However, Union education minister denied reports of paper leak and clarified the decision was taken due to logistical issues.
