Hi, I have completed PGDBA from ICFAI university via distance education. I wish to appear for UGC- NET. My question is whether PGDBA is considered equivalent to Post graduate degree as per UGC norms?

Kindly assist.

PGDBA stands for Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics. ICFAI university is recognized university by University Grants Commission for various graduate and post graduate courses. Now, National Eligibility Test is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education for Lectureship and Junior Research Fellowship

Candidates who have done master's degree in any discipline from a recognized university can apply for this exam. You need to have at least 55% marks in master's degree. There is no upper age limit for Lectureship but it is 28 years for Junior Research Fellowship.

Post graduate diploma is not equivalent to post graduation. So you have to do Master's in your subject with at least 55% of marks for appearing CBSE NET/JRF.
You can pursue your post graduation from distance learning also.

Respected Sir/ Madam, I have done CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and MFA (Master of Financial Analyst) from ICFAI after B.A. Am i eligible for UGC NET exam in Management or Commerce? Please reply as soon as possible.
