There is no age limit for a person to take UGC NET exam forthe lectureship program .

The UGC NET holders are appointed as lecturers in any govt universities /institutes

The government appointed commission takes necessary steps for the requirements of the govt lecturers.

The minimum age criteria for candidiates to apply as a lecturer in any govt college can be 35-39 yrs

The maximum age limit for applying can be 50 yrs

One can work as a lecturer up to the age of 60 yrs

The age criteria may vary from state to state

what is the age limit for a female candidate who has passed SET EXAKM conducted by Maharashtra to apply for lectureship in any affilated or private college

No there is no such age limit. Once you have qualified the National Eligibility Test, you can apply for the lectureship in government college. Your age will not be an issue in finding the job.

As you know that there is no age limit for candidates who want to apply for lectureship. This criteria is not only to appear for the National Eligibility Test but also if when you decide to apply for the lectureship.

Therefore I will advice you to clear the National Eligibility Test and forget about the age limit. Once you have cleared the National Eligibility Test, you will be able to find lectureship job in good central government college.
