Hi friend.........

NET means National Eligibility Test while SET stands for State Eligibility Test. There is very little difference between the two exams.

National Eligibility Test is conducted by University Grants Commission for the central government colleges while State Eligibility Test is responsibility of each state to conduct for its colleges.

The requirement for both exams remains the same. After clearing NET you can apply for lectureship in central government colleges while after clearing SET, you can apply for job in the very state where you appeared for exam.

For example if you appeared for Gujarat SET then you can apply for lectureship in Gujarat's colleges. Apart from the college lectureship both these exams are also conducted for the Junior Research Fellowship.

SET stands for State Eligibility Test. It is state level version of the National Eligibility Test which is conducted for Junior Research Fellowship and Lectureship.

First thing to keep in mind is that State Eligibility Test is no single exam. But each state has its own. For example, Gujarat has its own State Eligibility Test, so does Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

Therefore you will have to wait for the notification from the particular state in which you want to give to exam. It is also important to remember that SET exam is only valid in that particular state. Which means that Gujarat SET is only valid in Gujarat. You can not apply in Maharashtra through it.

Read the notification from the state government regarding the SET carefully before applying. The eligibility criteria for SET is same as NET entrance exam.
