What is the UGC NET Exam in India?
UGC NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) is a national-level exam in India conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The exam is conducted twice a year to determine the eligibility of candidates for the post of Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Indian universities and colleges.
The UGC NET exam is conducted in various subjects such as Humanities, Social Sciences, Commerce, Management, Sciences, Languages, Arts, and Education. The exam consists of two papers - Paper I and Paper II. Paper I is a common paper for all subjects and tests the candidates' teaching and research aptitude, while Paper II is specific to the candidate's subject of choice.
Candidates who qualify for both Paper I and Paper II are eligible for the post of Assistant Professor, while candidates who qualify for JRF are eligible for a monthly fellowship for a period of two years, which can be extended further based on certain criteria.
The UGC NET exam is highly competitive, and candidates are required to score a minimum of 40% marks in Paper I and Paper II (35% for reserved category candidates) to qualify.
