After completion of B.Sc degree, you can not apply for Lectureship post.

Yes, it is necessary to qualify in NET/SET exam become a lecturer in government or central government college.

The educational qualification required for NET/SET 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/SET exam.

There is no age criteria for NET/SET exam but for JRF posts, your age should be below 28 years.

Yes you heard the correct information. To become a lecturer of a Government Controlled University in India you must clear the NET/SET Examination.
It is something which you must not think about. At present you should focus on scoring good marks in your Graduation level and your Masters Level.
Once you clear these hurdles take your time in preparing for this Examination so that you can crack the Examination.

If you want government colleges lecturer job then you have to qualify NET/SET after completion of your Master's degree. You can get lecturer job in private college without qualifying NET/SET but those positions will be temporary and salary will be on the basis of your experience.

IF you qualify NET/SET then you will get salary according to government pay scale with all the benefits which a government employee gets after getting lecturer job in a government funded University.
