Hello, To become a lecturer, you must have to complete the master's degree with minimum 55% aggregate marks. Yes, these are the minimum marks required by a candidate to be eligible to appear in the National Eligibility Test. The National Eligibility Test is conducted by the NTA for selecting the candidates for lectureship and for Junior Research Fellowship. So, if you want to become a lecturer then do apply for the UGC NET (University Grants Commission - National Eligibility Test). The exam is conducted for 81 subjects. Choose the subject that will match with your postgraduation subject. The exam is conducted twice a year. You can apply for any of these two sessions. After qualifying the exam, you will get the certificate from the officials. This certificate can be used to apply in various colleges for lectureship. I hope it helps!
