M. Phil & Ph. D holder have more scope then UGC / NET qualified personnel Respected all, I want to draw your kind attention to the fact that is happening Regarding employment opportunity, the M. Phil & Ph. D. holder have more scope in comparison to UGC / NET qualified personnel. As In the selection for different post the M. Phil and Ph. D holders where given 5 and 10 marks extra for their degree respectively. Whereas the NET qualified personnel does not eligible for such marks. So they are bound to lose when they come face to face with other M. Phil and Ph D candidate. This is happening in Assam, I don't know what the situation in other states of India is. Let me frank, Qualifying in the NET is a difficult task. It demands the exclusive subject knowledge from the candidate whereas the M. Phil and Ph D demand the time and money. (I apologies from the true research scholar) I personally know many candidates who are appearing for NET exam again and again but still they are unable to qualify. Now after the announcement of UGC regarding the exemption of M. Phil and Ph D holders from appearing NET they are joining the M. Phil programme under some mushrooming correspondent school, whose quality is doubtful. And after one year they are bound to challenge the NET qualified personnel and win the same. So, I personally feel that UGC by exempting M. Phil and Ph D holders from appearing NET without any clause, make another great mistake. It like the same of its previous announcement regarding the last date of submission of Ph. D thesis (December 2002 and revised date of December 2003) which degrades the quality of Research.
