Being a Master Degree holder you are eligible to apply for UGC NET entrance exam. However, you are required to score not less than 55% of marks in Master Degree to eligible for UGC. Those who fail to score 55% of marks in Master Degree such candidates are not eligible for NET entrance exam. So, It is fully based on your Master Degree course whether you are eligible or not.

No problem with change of stream or even change of subject for NET exam. The problem arises when you apply for job of lecturer. There many universities asks for candidates with graduation and poat graduation from same subject. Stream doesn't matters.

I have completed B.A in Economics And M.A in English...Am I eligible for Net exam in English? Do universities ask for the same subjects for both B.A and M.A?
