For example, if a student has completed master\u2019s in more than one subject, then he or she may apply for those subjects in the UGC Net examination. However, the cycle for those subjects tends to be different. The UGC Net examination is conducted twice a year, in June and December. You can start reading the article for more information related to the UGC Net examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-ugc-net-examination\">About UGC Net Examination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UGC NET, or University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test, is a national-level exam conducted in India. The purpose of this examination is to find out which individuals are eligible to become teachers. Qualifying for the UGC NET for teaching positions in universities and colleges recognised by the UGC is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let us proceed ahead and explore the eligibility of the UGC Net examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/indian-exams\/ugc-net-mock-test\/\"><strong>UGC NET Mock Test<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-eligibility-criteria-for-ugc-net\">What are the Eligibility Criteria for UGC Net?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To become eligible for the UGC Net examination, you must meet the two main eligibility criteria points, i.e., education and age, as stated below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Education<\/strong>: You must have a Master\u2019s degree with good marks.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimum marks: 55% (or 50% if you belong to a reserved category) from a recognised university.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age<\/strong>: It depends on what you\u2019re applying for (JRF or Assistant Professor):<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JRF (Junior Research Fellowship): You can\u2019t be older than 30.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assistant Professor: Age doesn\u2019t matter here, you can apply anytime!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/indian-exams\/ugc-net-participating-colleges\/\"><strong>List of UGC NET Participating Colleges and Universities<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-give-ugc-net-in-two-subjects\">Can I Give UGC Net in Two Subjects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can take the exam in two subjects, but not in the same cycle. Each year, the NTA NET Exam is conducted twice, in June and December. Candidates can choose one subject for the June cycle and another subject for the December cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a candidate holds both a Master\u2019s degree in English (MA English) and a Master\u2019s degree in Sociology (MA Sociology), she or he may apply for the NTA NET exam in both English and Sociology in different cycles\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-benefit-of-cracking-ugc-net-in-multiple-subjects\">What is the Benefit of Cracking UGC Net in Multiple Subjects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of benefits of cracking the UGC Net examination in multiple subjects, some of which are stated in the given section of the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you pass the UGC NET exam in multiple subjects, you\u2019ll have more options for teaching jobs at universities. You\u2019ll be qualified to apply for Assistant Professor positions in any of those subjects you passed the exam in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s no rule saying you can only take the UGC NET in one subject. You can choose any subject you want to specialize in and take the exam for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is an age limit of 30 years old to be eligible for a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) through the UGC NET exam. This doesn\u2019t apply to becoming an assistant professor, though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1717412892547\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How many subjects to choose in UGC NET?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">UGC Net exam is conducted in 83 different subjects.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1717412900815\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is shift 2 timing in UGC NET?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The timing of shift 2 of the UGC Net examination is 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1717412909074\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the passing score for UGC NET?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">40% marks \u2013 The UGC has set different qualifying marks for the general and reserved categories in the UGC NET exam.
