UGC NET:
The basic objective is to determine eligibility for college &
university level lectureship and for award of Junior Research Fellowship
(JRF) for Indian nationals in order to ensure minimum standards for the
entrants in the teaching profession and research.
The test for Junior Research Fellowship is being conducted since 1984. The Government of India,
through its notification dated 22 July 1988 entrusted the task of
conducting the eligibility test for lectureship to University Grants
Commission. Consequently, UGC conducted the first ever National
Eligibility Test (NET), common to both Eligibility for Lectureship and
Junior Research Fellowship in December 1989. Since then it is conducted
twice every year, once each in June & December.
In December 2013, Public Sector Undertakings such as Indian Oil
Corporation and others decided to use the National Eligibility Test
scores for recruitment purpose in various streams, particularly,
management. The UGC has decided to allow PSUs to use NET result database
to recruit master degree holders. This will help
PSUs to shortlist eligible candidates, UGC approved this based upon the
fact that for past few years fewer candidates opted to take the NET
exam due to deceased opportunity in education sector. UGC-NET has been
experiencing a low turnout in the forthcoming examination to be held on
29 December, 2013. As compared to the UGC-NET held in December 2012
which had a total of 28,824 candidates, the number has fallen by around
2,500 candidates this year. UGC is hopeful that NET scores will be used
along with GATE scores for recruitment in PSUs soon
