UGC NET

Hello Jaya,
UGC NET is the national level which is conducted to examine the eligibility of candidates required for holding the position of Lecturers/professors/ associates/ research fellows at India's reputed universities. You can take UGC NET exam in the subject in which you have done post graduation. As you have done your Masters' in Zoology, I suggest you that apply for CSIR NET not for UGC NET. CSIR NET Exam is conducted for Science stream students by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. It is organized bi-yearly basis for those who want to make their career in Research and Lectureship field. You can get the complete details related to CSIR NET exam from - https://www.eduncle.com/csir-net-exam.

Hi Shubham,
To apply for UGC NET exam candidates will have to score at least 55% from a recognised university/college in their Master's degree exams (in departments such as Social Science, Humanities, Education, Computer Science, Electronic Science, etc.). It must be noted that candidates belonging to categories ST/SC/PwD/OBC will require a minimum 50% to apply for UGC NET exam. It is advised that candidates appear on the subject of their Master's degree course only.
Candidates are not required to send any documents or certificates in support of their eligibility to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The upper age limit for appearing in JRF has also been raised by two years, I. e. from the existing upper age limit of 28 years to 30 years. A 5 years relaxation is given to ST/SC/PwD/OBC and women applicants. Applicants having research experience limited to the period spent on research in the relevant subject of Master's degree are also given relaxation. Candidates holding a degree in LLB are given a relaxation of 3 years.
