NET stands for National Eligibility Test. This exam is conducted by UGC.

The educational qualification required for NET exam is masters degree from a recognized university with above 55% marks. 5% relaxation is given for SC/ST category candidates. Final year student are also eligible for NET exam.

There is no age criteria for NET exam but for JRF posts, your age should be below 28 years. There are no specific attempts limit for UGC NET exam.

Age should be below 28 years of age for NET JRF for a general category candidate. There is age relaxation of 3 years available for OBC category and 5 years for SC/ST.

Number of attempts are available till your age exceeds. For JRF, you can appear any number of times, if you fulfill the age.
