UGC Amends Rule for PhD Admissions from 2024 session now admission on basis of NET Score

PhD Admission From UGC NET Score: UGC has made a major change in the rules for admission to PhD course. Under this, now universities will not need to conduct separate entrance exams for admission to PhD, rather they will get admission through a single exam (NET). UGC has proposed that candidates should get admission in PhD on the basis of the score of National Eligibility Test i.e. NET examination. This score will remain valid for some time and candidates will not have to appear for a separate entrance examination to do PhD.

There will not be many exams

UGC says that by taking admission in this way, the need for many exams can be eliminated. At present, the admission method of every university is different and each takes its own entrance examination. By validating the NET score, the same can be used and there will be no need for separate examinations.

Paper is given twice

Let us tell you that currently NET exam is conducted twice a year. The examination is conducted once in June and once in December. With this, students will also get a chance twice a year for admission to PhD. UGC Chairman Jagdish Kumar says that all higher educational institutions should take admission through this. This will be in the interest of both the institute and the students.

Selection will be done in three categories

Talking about admission through this process, NET exam candidates will be declared successful in three categories. Admission in PhD with JRF – Appointment as Assistant Professor, Admission in PhD without JRF – Appointment as Assistant Professor and the third and last category includes admission only in PhD programme.

there will also be an interview

Only NET score will not be considered for admission to PhD programme. Rather, the arrangement will be such that 70 percent weightage will be given to net score and the remaining 30 percent to interview. This interview will be conducted by the institute where you have submitted the form for PhD admission.
