Re: Regarding Net Exam
by sivan kutty 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hi, It is seen that UGC has decided not to make NET compulsory for Mphil and Phd holders for applying for various posts in colleges and teaching departments of the Universities.Does any body have a copy of this order, if so can they circulate in this forum.Another issue is, Can Mphil and Phd degree holders who have done this through distance mode apply for these posts.Now itself the distance education post graduate degree holders are not considered for teaching posts for state government appointments.It would be better if UGC can make a clear statement in this regard. In my opinion the NET qualified canidates sholud be given first priority and only after that other candidates sholud be considered.

The NET is the minimum requirement to get a job as a lecturer in universities and colleges. The NET was originally implemented to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process of university and college lecturers. Seventeen years later it is on its way out. The UGC has decided to allow PhDs and M Phils to teach postgraduates and under-graduates, respectively. However, those with just a post graduation degree would still need to clear the NET exam to be able to teach in university. At present, the requirements for becoming a lecturer include passing the NET and a minimum of 55 per cent marks in postgraduation. Those who have acquired a PhD degree before December 2002 are exempt from having a NET clearance, but all those who have completed a PhD after 2002 do need to clear NET. With a large number of doctorates failing to make it to the teaching profession due to not passing the NET, teachers unions and educators have raised objections against the system. Some have also accused UGC of interfering in the universities autonomy. While pointing to the flaws of the NET, Historian Sumit Sarkar had said the examination pattern does not suit research-oriented minds. The removal of the NET barrier would mean becoming lecture would be a much easier job. The weeding out process associated with the NET clearance has also been blamed for one of the reasons behind vacant teaching posts in universities and colleges across the country. Sources in Human Resources and Development Ministry said the shortage of quality faculty has been a governmental concern and the relief would help colleges easily fill the vacancies. The NET loosens National Eligibility Test (NET), the qualifying exam taken by those applying for a lectureship in colleges, will be scrapped for M Phil and PhD holders Those with a postgraduate degree must still take the NET In 2005, only 7500 qualified out of 1.75 lakh postgraduate students who took the NET The NET was meant to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process With best regards.
