Hello,
The objective of organising the UGC NET Exam is to select the candidates for lectureship or awarding Junior Research Fellowship. Those who clear this exam can apply in any college and institutes for the post of lecturer (Assistant Professor). There is no age limit to become a lecturer. You are suggested to check all the latest openings for lectureship in colleges.
For selecting the deserving candidates for lectureship, the recruiting college or institutes will conduct an interview. Those who clear this step will be appointed as a lecturer. I hope it helps! -
Hi,
Yes, you can apply for lecturer job in colleges after clear the NET exam but few universities do accept only NET exam and some do require PhD too for the lecturer job.
So, you need to check the vacancy requirement in the particular university if you want to apply with your NET exam result.
