Many universities conduct their entrance tests for admission to their Ph.D. programmes requiring the students to write multiple Ph.D. entrance tests. To help the students with one national entrance test for Ph.D. admissions as a part of implementing the National Education Policy 2020, the UGC constituted an expert committee to review the provisions of the National Eligibility Test (NET).
“Based on the expert committee’s recommendations, in its 578th Meeting held on 13 March, 2024, the UGC has decided that from the academic session 2024-25, the NET Score can be used for admission to Ph.D. programmes in place of entrance tests conducted by the different universities/HEIs,” the Commission in an official notice said. One can check the detailed notice at https://www.ugc.gov.in/.

- Category-1: Eligible for (i) admission to Ph.D. with JRF and (ii) appointment as Assistant Professor
- Catcgory-2: Eligible for (i) admission to Ph.D. without JRF and (ii) appointment as Assistant Professor.
