Hello,


If you applied for the UGC NET in 2022 under the OBC-NCL category but did not have the required certificate at that time, it should not cause any major issues in the future as long as your caste was included in the central list of OBCs and you now possess a valid certificate. The eligibility criteria for reservation benefits require candidates to provide proof of category (such as the OBC-NCL certificate) at the time of document verification or as specified by the exam authorities.


Since you received your certificate in 2023, it can be used for future applications and any document verification processes. However, the reservation benefits for the 2022 application may not have been applicable if the certificate was not submitted as per the specified deadline.

Hello Animesh,

If you filled out the UGC NET application under the EWS category but qualified for the Assistant Professor position by scoring above the general category cutoff, you will be considered under the General category for further processing.

The category under which you qualify is determined by the cutoff score and the rules set by the examination authority. Even though you applied under EWS, if your score is higher than the general category cutoff, you would fall under the general category. Therefore, your qualification status will be recognized as General, not EWS.

However, it is recommended to double-check with the official UGC NET authorities or refer to their official notification for precise details.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.


If you filled the UGC NET exam as an EWS candidate but qualified as an Assistant Professor by scoring above the general category cutoff, you will still be considered as an EWS candidate even though your score is higher than the general category cutoff; your category is determined by the category you applied under, not just your final score.

You may come under UR category but you need to produce your EWS certificate during document verification wherever you apply for any Assistant Professor job or any kind of Fellowship from any University you have enrolled for your Ph. D course.

The merit list is prepared for reservation category seperately and your name appears on it only not in the list of general category candidates.

Hope you get your answer!!
