NEW DELHI: UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar announced on Tuesday that the curriculum for the National Eligibility Test (NET), a mandatory examination for individuals aspiring to pursue teaching positions in higher education, is set to undergo revision.
The revision of the syllabus of UGC-NET has been decided in a meeting held on November 3, Kumar told over the phone.
UGC will form an expert committee and undertake this exercise. “Candidates will be given sufficient time before this new syllabus is introduced in UGC-NET so that the changeover happens smoothly,” informed Kumar.
On behalf of UGC, the National Testing Agency conducts the UGC-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and as an Eligibility Test for appointment as Assistant Professor in the subjects of Humanities and Social Sciences, including Indian and some foreign languages, as well as in certain science subjects.
The UGC-NET examination is held twice yearly in 83 subjects, usually in June and December.
The UGC last initiated the process to update the syllabi of UGC-NET subjects in 2017.
