Hello Nitu

UGC NET Eligibility criteria is decided on the basis of two factors-

Age and Educational Qualification

And, there is no such upper age limit of applying for the post of Assistant Professor.

Also, there is age relaxation for the reserved category. Candidates belonging to reserved categories can avail age relaxation as per their category.

For SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer)/Female/Transgender, age relaxation is of 5 Years

For Research candidates (only on producing the certificate issued by appropriate authority)- 5 Years

For Candidates pursuing L.L.M degree-3 Years

For Ex-Armyman- 5 Years

Your age is 24 years, so if you fulfill the educational qualification, you can appear for the exam.

Good Luck!
