I am a final year student of M.Com. Am I eligible to apply for SET exam after completing M.Com without doing B.Ed course?

Hi Athulya, SET refers to State Eligibility Test or State Lectureship Eligibility Test conducted under the regulation of University Grant Commission for assessing candidates eligibility to become lecturer/Assistant Professor in Colleges/University in respective states. It is quite the same as the National Eligibility Test (NET) and the only difference between the two is that candidate who qualifies National Eligibility Test may apply for the position of Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Colleges and Universities situated anywhere in India whereas those who qualifies State Lectureship Eligibility Test may only apply for the similar position in universities and Colleges of the respective state. Now, as per your query, possessing B.Ed is not required to be considered eligible for the State Lectureship Eligibility Test. If you have completed your Masters degree programme M.Com and have scored at least 55% marks in the examination, you will be considered eligible to take the test. For candidates belonging to reserved category, the required percentage of marks to be considered eligible is 50%. I hope I have cleared your doubts.

Hello, The SET (State Eligibility Test) Exam is conducted for selecting the candidates for lectureship. If you want to appear in SET Exam then it is required to complete the Masters' degree with a minimum of 55% aggregate marks. Candidates who are in the final year of their master's degree are also eligible to apply for this exam. You should also know that qualifying in SET Exam will only help you to appear for the post of lecturer in colleges or institutes in the respective states only. If you want to apply for any college or institute across India, then you should appear in the UGC NET Exam. The UGC NET Exam is also conducted for the same purpose. The eligibility criteria of the SET & NET Exam are also similar. So, I would like to suggest you appear in NET Exam. The exam is conducted twice a year (June and December). You can apply for any of these two exams.
