There is no room for disappointment as NET is a national level and a difficult examination to crack. You must be proud of what score you have achieved. I hope you might be aware of eligibility criteria, which is reproduced below : If you can spare a few moments for preparation every day and have not crossed age limits, then its worth trying once more, I have come across some people who have skipped offers and other higher education programmes only to fulfil the dream and attending coaching programmes to crack NET examination. For your information, Age limit and relaxation for JRF (NET): Minimum 19 Years and maximum 28 years as on 01st July, 2013 (upper age limit may be relaxed up to 5 years as in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC(Non Creamy Layer), Physically handicapped/Visually handicapped and female applicants).
