    Yes, you can apply for the Economics in UGC NET Exam, if you have complete Masters in the Economics with around 55 % marks. The Eligibility for the reserved candidates is around 50% marks in the post-graduation.
    Economics is a productive subject that provides very good career opportunities in various fields. If you have completed the Masters or graduation in the Economics Subject, you can make career in the lectureship, business analyst and Economy surveyor too.

    Hello,
    Yes, you are eligible to apply for UGC NET Exam. IGNOU is also a recognised university for UGC NET. As you said, your subject is Economics, therefore you are eligible to take your exam with Economics subject. Before applying, make sure that you have fulfilled the eligibility criteria or not. You can check the paper pattern from here: https://medium.com/@shonalig31/best-preparation-strategies-to-get-good-marks-in-ugc-net-exam-2019-63850dd300d5
    You wanted to apply for Professor post, so there is no upper age limit for applying but you should have minimum 55% marks in your master's.

    Hello Aashu,
    After having completed your MA in economics, one of the possible employment avenues is teaching and for this one surely needs to pass NET exam. After having accomplished this, I would advise you to register for PhD.
