The eligibility criteria required to appear in the UGC NET examination is that a candidate must have completed Master's Degree course from a recognised University with 55% of marks.
There is no age criteria for NET examination.
Once a candidate qualifies in the NET examination successfully, he/she is then eligible to take admission to study the Ph.D course.
