Sir,
I have completed my MCA from Shobhit University, Meerut from Distance Mode. When I have taken admission, it was approved by both UGC and DEC. After a year, UGC has withdrawn its approval and no further admissions are being made. However, students in the pipeline have been allowed to continue. I want to know whether I am eligible to appear for UGC-NET? Please help.
Thank you!

No, you are not eligible for UGC NET exam because your university is not approved 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.
