If you are applying for JRF, then you must not be more than 30 years, however, if you wish to appear for Asst. Professor, then there is no upper age limit. Reserved category candidates get age relaxation of 3-5 years.

If you talk about the qualification in term of education you need to be masters in the subject you wish to apply with 55% score. You can check more details of  <a href=" https://ugcnetpaper1.com/ugc-net/ ">net eligibility criteria</a> for exemption rules.
