National Testing Agency conducts the UGC NET exam 2024 twice every year. The UGC NET exam is an eligibility test to become assistant professors in Indian universities and Junior research fellowships (JRF). The UGC NET exam has a huge competition across India with lakhs of candidates applying every year.
The table below is the details about the UGC NET qualifying marks:
Category | Paper I | Paper II |
UGC NET Qualifying Marks ( General Category or Unreserved) | 40% (40 marks out of 100) | 40% (40 marks out of 100) |
UGC NET Qualifying Marks (OBC - Non Creamy Layer, PWD/SC/ST and Transgenders) | 35% (35 marks out of 100) | 35% (35 marks out of 100) |
The UGC NET 2024 exam has a large applicant pool. Around 8- 12 lakh candidates apply for the UGC NET exam. The number is increasing with each year. However, the number of candidates appearing for the NET exam 2024 is a little less.
The below table shows rough numbers about the registered UGC NET candidates versus the number of candidates who actually appear for the June exam.
Year | Number of applicants | Number of candidates appeared | Number of qualified candidates |
June 2024 | 11,21,225 | 9,08,580 | TBA |
Dec 2023 | 945872 | 695928 | 53762 |
June 2023 | 639069 | 462144 | 32304 |
Dec 2022 | 834537 | 546679 | 39070 |

For the 2024 UGC NET exam, around 11,21,225 candidates registered for the exam. Out of which, 9,45,918 candidates actually appeared for the exam. Out of the UGC NET qualified candidates, only a small percentage of candidates qualify the exam.
The number of candidates who qualify for the UGC NET exam and become assistant professors are even less in number. Candidates have to meet the UGC NET cut off 2024 in order to qualify the exam. In the end, around 10-15 % of those qualified candidates usually take up roles for JRF and assistant professors.
Some of the main reasons due to which the candidates don't appear for the examination could be due to insufficient preparation, reaching late to the UGC NET 2024 exam centre, or a change of mind.
Getting an Assistant professor job through a UGC NET certificate is a stepping stone for those who want to teach. The jobs are limited and considered to have a large competition. The candidates who take up JRF positions also receive a great deal of funding to pursue their PhD after qualifying the NET 2024 exam.
The UGC NET success rate is the number of candidates qualifying the exam as per the cut off. The success rate is around 6-10 %.
There isn't a fixed salary after clearing the UGC NET 2024 as it completely depends on the job type, experience, and location. Candidates may expect the NET salary of Rs 30,000 - Rs 60,000 for the assistant professor role.
A very small percentage of candidates get the UGC NET JRF qualification every year. Only 30% of the UGC NET qualified candidates get JRF every year which is around 10,000 - 20, 000 candidates.
For someone who is new to the UGC NET 2024 subjects, 3 months could be a tough time frame to crack the exam. However, with focussed work and dedication, it is definitely enough.
The difficulty level of the NET exam depends on the preparation of the candidate.Candidates can enhance their preparation level by solving as many sample papers and UGC NET 2024 mock tests as possible.
