Can I appear for the NET exam after completing M.Sc?
I didn't pursue B.Ed.

The B.Ed degree is not mandatory for appearing in the NET exam.
For appearing in UGC NET, first, you have to check the stream in which you want to give the UGC NET Exam. You can give the UGC NET Exam in the stream which you have done your post-graduation.
Also, you don't need to have a B.Ed degree for appearing in the UGC NET exam.
Hope this will help.
All the best. -
