Hii,
Yes, you can still appear for the UGC NET in Geography, but there's a small change. UGC prefers candidates to write NET in the subject of their post-graduation. However, if your Rural Development MA had strong overlaps with geography topics like environment, population studies, etc., and you feel confident with Geography concepts, you can go for it. Just be ready to justify your choice if asked during verification. Otherwise, another option is to appear for UGC NET in Rural Development if that’s more aligned with your MA.
Thank you for reaching out and all the best for your exam !

Hello,
If you get the EWS certificate after filling the UGC NET form , then it will not be valid for this attempt.
EWS certificate must be valid and available at the time of form submission. You cannot claim EWS benefit later after the form is submitted.
Hope it helps !
