Hello Twinkle,
No, you can't. As per the NTA guidelines, candidates should have Master's degree to appear for the UGC NET exam with minimum 55% aggregate marks, if they belong to General category or minimum 50% aggregate marks, if they are from OBC/SC/ST/PwD category. Aspirants who are in the qualifying year of post-graduation can also eligible for the exam. So, if you want to apply for UGC NET exam you have to wait. You must follow the age criteria also i.e. 30 years. Reserved categories get the 5 years age relaxation. For Assistant Professor there are no age criteria. -
NET exam you can apply simply after completing your Masters which is a pre-requisite for that. -
Sorry to say but you that you must be master degree holder with at least 55% to apply for it. -
Hello,
You can't appear for UGC NET exam now, as the post-graduation degree is compulsory for applying. At this time, you can start your preparation for this. You have enough time for preparation. This exam is only based on your dedication towards success in the Exam. All the best. -
