Yes, you can still be eligible for the UGC NET exam, as it primarily requires a master’s degree with at least 55% marks (50% for reserved categories).
Your two-year gap after Class 10 will not affect your UGC NET eligibility, as the exam considers postgraduate qualifications, not the gap between 10th and 12th.

Hello,
Yes, you can appear for GATE XH (Humanities & Social Sciences) in Psychology if the institute you are applying to accepts GATE XH scores for PhD admissions in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management (OBHRM) .
However, most IITs and IIMs prefer CAT, GMAT, GRE, UGC-NET/JRF or their own entrance tests for PhD admissions in OBHRM. Some IITs might accept GATE scores , but it's best to check the specific admission requirements of the IITs/IIMs where you want to apply.
Hope it helps !
