Masters

Hi Hari Prasad, The main differences are in terms of admission requirements, selectivity and expense. Colleges are comparatively way cheaper than universities and have slightly easier admission rules. For example, for admission to a Master's degree course, the colleges may accept a three-year degree which universities do not accept in contrary. Admission standards are higher in university and it prefers students with more than 70% in most cases but for colleges, it is not the case, though the colleges are also very competitive, you can apply if you have a decent score, but above 55%. You can check the college website in which you planning to take admission if you are eligible, you can surely apply.

Hello Jhansee, Congratulations for the post-graduation. Here, let me tell you about the NET Exam. NET stands for National Eligibility Test which is conducted for the Assistant professor in universities or colleges and the award of the Junior Research Fellowship. The UGC NET exam is conducted for around 84 subjects while the CSIR NET exam is conducted for the Science stream subjects like Physical Science, chemical Science, life Science, earth Science, and mathematical Science. The eligibility for the NET exam is that you must have the post-graduate degree. As you have completed the post-graduate in metallurgy, you can apply for the CSIR NET for life Science or earth Science. Candidates are allowed to apply for their post-graduate or related subjects in the NET Exam. https://www.shiksha.com/teaching-education/exams/csir-ugc-net
