Questions related to UGC NET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to UGC NET ?

If you filled the UGC NET form under EWS but you don’t have a valid EWS certificate, then forget using the EWS category. They won’t accept it. You’ll automatically be treated as General category during document verification.


And no, this won’t make your form “invalid” or “illegal.” It just means you won’t get the EWS benefit.


So yes — you can still go for General category posts and Professor recruitment. Just don’t try to submit a fake/invalid certificate; that will get you disqualified.

Hello,

If you have entered the wrong annual income but belong to the OBC NCL category and have a valid certificate, it should not cause a problem during verification, as long as your certificate supports your category and income criteria.

Make sure:

  1. Your OBC NCL certificate is valid and matches the name on your application.

  2. You carry the correct income details during document verification. You may have to explain or correct the income information at that stage.

The important thing is to be honest and provide supporting documents during verification. Mistakes in the application can usually be corrected at the time of document check if you have proof.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Not clearing UGC NET is not a big problem unless you want to become an Assistant Professor or apply for a PhD with fellowship.

You can still apply for PhD without NET in many universities, but you may need to clear their entrance test. For teaching jobs in colleges and universities, NET is usually compulsory.

So, it depends on your career goals. If you plan for research or teaching, you should try to clear it.

Hope it helps !

Your MBA in finance is relevant because UGC NET Commerce covers business, accounting, finance, economics, and management topics.

As an alternative, you can choose UGC NET Management, which is closely related to MBA courses.
Your subject-matter expertise and career objectives should guide your decision.
