Importance of UGC-NET

The UGC-NET (University Grants Commission – National Eligibility Test) is a significant examination that determines eligibility for several academic roles, including:

Junior Research Fellowship (JRF): Awarded based on the aggregate performance in Paper-I and Paper-II.
Assistant Professorship:   Candidates qualifying only for Assistant Professorship are not eligible for JRF.

The UGC-NET is a critical step for candidates aspiring to pursue research or teaching at Indian universities and colleges. It also facilitates admission to PhD programs.

Exam Details

Mode of Examination: The UGC-NET will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, a practice in place since December 2018. Prior to this, the exam was conducted in OMR (Pen and Paper) mode.
Frequency:   The UGC-NET is held twice a year, in June and December.
Subjects:  The examination covers 83 subjects.

Examination Conduct and Governance

The awarding of the JRF and eligibility for Assistant Professorship is contingent upon the candidate’s overall performance in both papers of the UGC-NET. Candidates who qualify only for the Assistant Professorship are subject to the specific rules and regulations of the universities, colleges, or state governments regarding their recruitment.

This correction window is a crucial phase for candidates to ensure that their application details are accurate, as this could impact their eligibility and future academic endeavors. The NTA’s initiative to open the correction window underscores its commitment to providing a fair and transparent examination process.
