How to Check Your Result
- Visit the official CSIR-NAL website at nal.res.in/en/career.
- On the Career page, look for the notice titled “Notification for declaration of marks for the post of JSA (Gen./F&A/S&P) of CSIR-NAL, Bengaluru vide Advt. No. 03/2025”.
- Open the linked PDF — the notification page is followed by Annexure-I (qualified in Paper-I) and Annexure-II (not qualified in Paper-I).
- Find your row using your NAL Application ID or your Roll No. for the written exam; the annexures do not list candidate names.
- Note your Paper-I marks (out of 200) and, if you appear in Annexure-I, your Paper-II marks (out of 300), and download or save the PDF for your records.
Note: If you find a discrepancy, e-mail your representation to recruitnal.nal@csir.res.in before 02.09.2026, 05:00 PM. No other mode of submission will be accepted.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not assume that appearing in Annexure-I means you are selected — CSIR-NAL has stated in writing that Annexure-I is only a marks list and not the final merit or select list.
- Do not send your representation by post, courier, a different e-mail ID, telephone or in person — only e-mail to recruitnal.nal@csir.res.in is accepted, and everything else is rejected outright.
- Do not wait until the deadline day — the challenge window closes at 05:00 PM on 02.09.2026 and late submissions will not be entertained under any circumstances.
- Do not search the annexures by name — they are indexed only by NAL Application ID and Roll No., so keep your application acknowledgement handy.
- Do not panic if no Paper-II mark appears against your name in Annexure-II — Paper-II was evaluated only for candidates who cleared the Paper-I cut-off.
- Do not rely on telephone enquiries for updates — CSIR-NAL will communicate further stages only through your registered e-mail and the official website.
