by Pawan Agrawal 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Dear friends, UGC has declared structure for paper 3 in ugc net examination. as per this structure they redesigned paper 3 to objective and qualifing marks to be consider for results.... But now we are in dillema as ugc has declared that achieving minimum qualifying marks does not mean we qualified the test. The final qualifying criteria for JRF and NET will be declared by the UGC before declaration of result... So, now what this criteria could be... Whether UGC will declare a cut of list.. or they will go for percentiles or what... This confusion will be clear only after declaration of result of june exam..... Pawan Agrawal *UGC-NET IN OBJECTIVE MODE FROM JUNE, 2012 ONWARDS* 1. The UGC-NET will be conducted in objective mode from June 2012 onwards. The Test will consist of three papers. All the three papers will consist of only objective type questions and will be held on the day of Examination in two separate sessions as under: SessionPaper Number of Questions Marks DurationFirst I60 out of which 50 questions are to be attempted 50x2 = 1001¼ Hours (09.30 a.m. to 10.45 a.m.) FirstII 50 questions all of which are compulsory50x2 = 100 1¼ Hours (10.45 a.m. to 12.00 Noon.)Second III75 questions all of which are compulsory 75x2 = 1502½ Hours (01.30 p.m. to 04.00 p.m.) 2. The candidates are required to obtain minimum marks separately in Paper-I, Paper-II and Paper-III as given below: Category Minimum marks (%) to be obtained Paper-I Paper-II Paper-III General 40 (40%) 40 (40%) 75 (50%) OBC 35 (35%) 35 (35%) 67.5 (45%) rounded off to 68 PH/VH/SC/ST 35 (35%) 35 (35%) 60 (40%) Only such candidates who obtain the minimum required marks in each Paper, separately, as mentioned above, will be considered for final preparation of result. However, the final qualifying criteria for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and eligibility for Lectureship shall be decided by UGC before declaration of result. 3. The syllabi of Paper-I, Paper-II and Paper-III will remain the same. 4.
