Eligibility Criterion For NET English

The National Eligibility Test (NET) is conducted every year in the months of June and December by the UGC (University Grants Commission)..

You can appear for the NET exam only if you satisfy the following minimum conditions :-

1) The candidate must be within the age limit of 28 years if applying for the Junior Research Fellowship..but there is no upper age restriction for the lectureship..

2) The candidate must also have completed his post graduation in any subject from a recognized University with at least 55% without rounding off..

In case you belong to any of the reserved categories then you must have secured at least 50% without rounding off in your subject in your post graduation..

Educational Qualification wise you are definitely eligible but you have to check if you are in the given age criterion or not..

I have provided you with some of the previous year papers for your preparations..

Observe the pattern and the level of questions asked..
