UGC or University Grants Commission takes the National Eligibility Test to select candidates for the Award of Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) and for lectureship post.

To sit for this examination you need to secure minimum 55 percent of marks at post graduation level. For the SC/ST candidates the percentage to secure is 50 percent of marks.

Even final year students are also eligible to give this exam. In that case provisional admission will be granted to those students and will be considered eligible only after they show their marksheet.

However it is to remember that such students should get their post graduation degree before two years otherwise you will be considered ineligible.

If you are a PhD degree holder then you will get a relaxation of upto five percent for appearing in the NET exam.

For the junior research fellowship your age should not be more than 28 years.

SC/ST and OBC candidates however will get a relaxation of upto 5 years.

Candidates with enough research experience are also entitled to get a maximum of 5 years age relaxation.

Relaxation is also provided to students who have completed their LLM degree. Relaxation never really exceeds that 5 years' marks.

For the post of lectureship there is no such age relaxation.

You can give this examination as many times you want.

The exam paper is basically objective type and there will be three papers all in all. In the first paper there will be 60 questions out of which 50 needs to be answered. The second paper has 50 compulsory questions and third paper has 75 compulsory questions.

Minimum 40 percent of marks needs to be secured as qualifying marks in the first two papers and 50 percent of marks in the third paper. This criteria is for the general category only. For the reserved category there is percentage relaxation.
