"Awarding of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and/or Eligibility for Assistant Professorship depends on the aggregate performance of the candidate in Paper-I and Paper-II of UGC-NET. The candidates qualifying only for Assistant Professorship are not eligible to be considered for the award of JRF. Candidates who qualify for the eligibility test for Assistant Professorship are governed by the rules and regulations of the universities/colleges/state governments concerned, as the case may be, for recruitment of Assistant Professors," the official notice states.
The test will consist of two papers. Both papers will comprise objective-type, multiple-choice questions. There will be no break between the papers.
Candidates are advised to read the instructions on the admit card thoroughly. The admit cards will not be sent by post, and no duplicate admit cards will be issued at the exam centre.
