Eligibility for Lectureship
Candidates who have secured at least 55% marks (without rounding off) in Master�s Degree OR equivalent examination
from universities/institutions recognised by UGC in Humanities (including languages) and Social Sciences, Computer
Science & Applications, Electronic Science etc. are eligible for this Test. The Scheduled Caste (SC)/Scheduled Tribe
(ST)/Physically Handicapped (PH)/Visually Handicapped (VH) category candidates who have secured at least
50% marks (without rounding off) in Master�s degree or equivalent examination are eligible for this Test.
Candidates who have appeared OR will be appearing at the qualifying Master�s degree (final year) examination and
whose result is still awaited OR candidates whose qualifying examinations have been delayed may also apply for
this Test. However, such candidates will be admitted provisionally and shall be considered eligible for award
of JRF / Lectureship eligibility only after they have passed their Master�s degree examination or equivalent with
at least 55% marks (50% marks in case of SC/ST/PH/VH category candidates). Such candidates must complete
their P.G. degree examination within two years from the date of NET result with required percentage of marks,
failing which they shall be treated as disqualified.
The Ph.D. degree holders whose Master�s level examination had been completed by 19th September, 1991
(irrespective of date of declaration of result) shall be eligible for a relaxation of 5% in aggregate marks
(i.e., from 55% to 50%) for appearing in UGC NET 2012.
Candidates are advised to appear in the subject of their post-graduation only. The candidates whose post-graduation
subject is not covered in the list of subjects in item No. 9, may appear in a related subject.
Candidates seeking concession in fee are required to submit attested copy of their
OBC(Non-creamy layer)/SC/ST/PH/VH certificate along with online printout of their
Application Forms (obtained while applying on-line). Other candidates are not required to
submit any certificates/documents in support of their eligibility alongwith printout of their Application
Form. Therefore, the candidates, in their own interest, must satisfy themselves about their
eligibility for the Test. In the event of any ineligibility being detected by the Commission at
any stage, their candidature will be cancelled and they shall be liable for legal action.
Candidates with post-graduate diploma/certificate course(s), should in their own interest,
ascertain the equivalence of their course(s) with Master�s degree of recognized Indian universities
from Association of Indian Universities (AIU), New Delhi. (www.aiuweb.org)
The candidates who qualify for the award of Junior Research Fellowship are eligible
to pursue research in the subject of their post-graduation or in a related subject and
are also eligible for Lectureship. The universities, institutions, IITs and other national
organizations may select the JRF awardees for whole time research work in
accordance with the procedure prescribed by them.
The award of JRF will depend onthe performance of the candidate in all three papers of NET.
However, the candidates qualifying exclusively for Lectureship will not be considered for
award of JRF.
Candidates appearing in NET should clearly specify in the prescribed Application
Form whether they are applying for both JRF & eligibility for Lectureship OR only
for eligibility for Lectureship. Candidates who qualify the Test for eligibility for
Lectureship will be governed by the rules and regulations for recruitment of Lecturers
of the concerned universities/colleges/state governments, as the case may be.
Scheduled Caste (SC)/Scheduled Tribe (ST)/Visually Handicapped (VH)/Physically
Handicapped (PH) candidates will be given such special concessions as may be
decided by the Commission.

receive fellowship of UGC under various schemes, subject to finding their placement
in universities/IITs/institutions.
