Hello Sitansu,
Yes, you are eligible for UGC NET exam. But make sure you fulfil all the eligibility criteria of the exam. You should have minimum 55% aggregate marks in post graduation if you are from the general category or if you belong to SC/ST/OBC/PWD category then you should have at least 50% aggregate marks. As you say you have 70% marks in MCA so you are definitely eligible for the exam. If you want to apply for JRF your age must not more than 30 years but for assistant professor no restriction on age. You can appear for that when you want to do. -
You can apply for NET if you meet the eligibility and age criteria. Refer to the link for details: https://www.shiksha.com/teaching-education/exams/ugc-net.
