Sorry to sat that you are not applicable for NET exam.Because you have not completed Masters degree.

Those candidate have completed masters degree from recognized university are eligible for NET exam.

For general and OBC candidate must be hold 55%above in masters degree. SC/ST candidate must be hold 50% above in masters degree.

Part time course are not eligible for NET exam.

For Junior research fellowship course your age must be in between 19 to 28 years.

For lectureship ,There is no upper age limit but the Minimum age is 19 years.

NET exam is conduct because of govt college lecturer and PHD entrance.

UGC NET consists of three papers

1) General studies (50 objective questions)
2) Your optional paper (50 objective questions)
3) Your optional paper (Subjective questions)

Second paper will check only after qualifying the first paper and third paper will checked after qualifying the second paper.

The National Eligibility Test is conducted for Junior Research Fellowship and College lectureship. In both the cases the candidate applying should have a master degree to appear for National Eligibility Test.

Since you are currently completing graduation, I am afraid that you are not eligible for the National Eligibility Test. To apply for the NET entrance exam you will have to complete Master of Technology, or any other post graduation course such as MCA, MBA etc.

Till that time you are not eligible for the National Eligibility Test conducted by the University Grants Commission. You should firstly complete the graduation and if interested in further studies, M.Tech would be perfect option. To apply for the M.Tech course, you will have to first clear the General Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE).

Only after completing M.Tech, you should consider about doing National Eligibility Test. If you have scored 60 percent or above marks, may I suggest applying for the job in Public Sector Undertaking after completing the graduation, in case you are not interested in further studies.


NET Eligibility

1. Post graduation degree is important to appear for NET.

2. At least 55 percent marks are required in PG.

3. SC and ST need 50 percent marks.

4. During final year of PG, you are allowed to participate in NET.

5. Your subject for NET should be related to PG course.

6. The JRF age limit is 28 years.

7. No age limit for lectureship.

Dear friend

UGC NET stands for the University grants Commission National Eligibility test.It is one of the most important entrance examination for the candidates who want to be lecturer in good government colleges.

This examination is conducted twice every year by the UGC .

The least academic qualifications required for this examination is master's degree in any discipline from a university that has been recognized by the UGC.Even when you are in final year of your post graduation course then also you are eligible for the UGC NET exams.

Friend,since you are in final year of bachelor's degree in engineering,so you are not eligible to give the NET exams.First you have to complete your master's degree in any stream with at least 55% marks in it.5% relaxation in marks will be given to you if you are from sc/st category.

The minimum age limit to be eligible for the NET exam is 21 years .The upper limit for the JRF (Junior research Fellowship ) is 28 years and for the Lectureship there is no upper age limit .
