Hello,

Firstly the eligibility criteria differs for UGC NET as different things are required for assistant professor and JRF ( junior research fellowship)

You have specify the same in the application form.

You should have ;

• Master’s Degree holders with a minimum of 55% marks (50% for reserved candidates)
• Students in the final year of the master’s program or waiting for its result can also apply for the exam.
• Ph.D. degree holders who completed their master’s degree before September 19, 1991 will be given a relaxation of 5% in aggregate marks.
• You should be not more than 30 years as on June 1,2020 for JRF.

• NET/SET/SLET shall remain the minimum eligibility condition for recruitment and appointment of Assistant Professors in Universities/Colleges/ Institutions
• If you have awarded your PhD degree than you are exempted for minimum eligibility criteria.
• https://www.ugcnetonline.in/eligibility.php
• You can refer to this link for eligiblity criteria.

Lastly you have asked me that if two year's Pg diploma is equal to MA

Then the answer is no as master degree is of two years and offers specialization whereas diploma is for additional educational qualification.

a masters degree is made up of 180 credits (taken from exams, assignments, and so on), a postgraduate diploma is 120 credits.

Hope this helps!!
