According to UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar, students who have completed a four-year undergraduate degree can now take the NET exam and pursue a PhD directly.
To pursue a PhD with or without a JRF, candidates must have obtained a minimum of 75 percent marks or equivalent grades in their four-year undergraduate program.
Up to this point, candidates for the National Eligibility Test (NET) were required to have a master’s degree with at least 55 percent marks.
According to Kumar, individuals holding four-year undergraduate degrees can now directly pursue a PhD and take the NET exam. These candidates have the freedom to choose any subject for their PhD, regardless of the discipline in which they obtained their bachelor’s degree.
According to the UGC chairman, candidates who have completed a four-year or eight-semester bachelor’s degree program must have at least 75 percent marks in aggregate or an equivalent grade on a point scale if a grading system is used.
He added that the UGC may allow a relaxation of five percent marks or its equivalent grade for candidates belonging to SC, ST, OBC (non-creamy layer), differently abled, economically weaker sections, and other categories, as per their decision.
