• Reserved categories: Candidates belonging to the OBC/SC/ST/PwD categories should have completed their Master’s degree or equivalent program with at least 50% of marks to be eligible for UGC NET.
• Age of the candidate must not be above 28 years, which means your birth year should be 1993 or after that.
