The basic qualification required for appearing in NET (National Eligibility Test) is a Master's degree in concerned paper with at least 55% marks (or 50% in case SC/ST and PH category candidates) from a recognized open or regular university. There is no age limit for the post of Assistant Professor but for JRFs the maximum age limit for general candidates is 30 years with years age relaxation applicable for candidates from reserved category as per the government norms.

So, having completed your M.Sc. in Information Technology degree course in distance mode from MPBHOJ Open University which is recognized by both UGC and DEC, you are eligible for appearing in NET if you have managed to secure above mentioned minimum marks in your postgraduation degree course.
