If you have done Post Graduation Degree in Computer Applications then surely you can apply for NET /SET. But you have to fulfill the percentage criteria for it.

55% marks is the minimum marks required for becoming eligible for NET/SET. So if you have got these much marks in Post Graduation then surely you can apply for the exam.

Marks relaxation of 5% is given to those categories which belong to reserved category like SC/ST/PWD.

As far as age is concerned there is no age limit mentioned for the exam for lecturership.

But if you want to apply for Junior Research fellowship then age should be below 28 years. Relaxation of age is available to SC/ST/PWD categories.

Exam Pattern:



Books for NET/SET for Computers Science subject:

-UGC University Grants Commission NET/SET for Lectureship Exam Paper I (Compulsory) by GKP

-UGC NET/JRF/SLET Teaching & Research Aptitude (General Paper-I) by Lal Jain, K. C. Vashistha

-UGC NET Digest Teaching and Research Aptitude (General Paper - I) by Dr. M. L.Kamlesh

-UGC - JRF & Lectureship Paper I Teaching and Research Aptitude by Dr. M S Ansari
