Ace TN TRB Assistant Professor Exam With Professor Academy Courses

If you’re a postgraduate aiming to become an Assistant Professor or bag a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), the UGC NET is your gateway. 

As the competition gets tougher, the right guidance can turn the tide in your favor. 

Let’s dive deep into everything you need to know about this career-defining exam—without the jargon and the confusion.

What Exactly is UGC NET?

UGC NET (National Eligibility Test) is a national-level qualifying test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the University Grants Commission. 

Clearing this test makes you eligible for:

• Assistant Professor roles in Indian universities and colleges
  
• Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) to pursue advanced research
  

🎓 Who Should Take This Exam?

This test is perfect for:

• Postgraduates or final-year PG students from recognized universities
  
• Aspirants aiming for a teaching career in higher education
  
• Researchers looking to secure a fellowship grant
  

There’s no cap on the number of attempts, and for Assistant Professor eligibility, there’s no age restriction. 

For JRF, however, candidates should be under 30 years (with applicable relaxations for reserved categories).

🧭 The Exam Structure: What to Expect?

UGC NET is composed of two papers conducted in a single session:

• UGC NET Paper 1: 

General aptitude (teaching/research ability, comprehension, reasoning, etc.) – 100 marks

• UGC NET Paper 2

Subject-specific – 200 marks
Both papers consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and there’s no negative marking.
