Is it compulsory to qualify UGC NET for lectureship?
Hello Sidhika,
It was compulsory to clear NET to be a professor in a college or university .But Since 2009 HRD minsiter changed this rule and remove this mandatory condition . So if you have a phd degree or you have applied for it. Then you are considered to be eligible for being a professor in any college and university.
So have a chill pill and gp for it freely.
Hope it helps.
Thank you :)
