UGC NET Cut Off 2020 – Important Dates, Rules and Regulations, Qualifying marks, Previous Years’ Cutoffs, Merit List and NET Counselling.

What is UGC NET Cut off and How to compute it?  

The minimum marks required to qualify in the test are known as cut off for UGC NET JRF.

UGC NET Cut off is the passing mark that must be scored by you to get qualified for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor.  

As per the official notification, among the all-out number of showed up candidates just 6% will be qualified in every session of the UGC NET test. 

If the last line didn’t scare you enough, wait for it, there’s more.

How to Calculate UGC NET 2019 Cut Off for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) 

The assessment authority, NTA,  chooses a specific number from the top 6% UGC NET qualified contender for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) after checking their qualification in terms of age.  

As indicated by qualification criteria for JRF, the upper age limit for general classification students is 30 years as on dates recommended.

The upper age limit is 33 years for reserved class applicants.   

A relaxation of as long as 5 years is given to the students having a place with OBC NCL/SC/ST/PwD, Transgender classes, and to women candidates.
