Exemption from NET/SET
Hello Sir,
I need your expert guidance.
I have done Masters in Human Genetics and rightnow joined PhD. So i will complete PhD by 2014.
After that, For applying as Lecturer, do i need to clear NET exam ?
As per my knowledge, either Ph.D. or NET/SET are the eligibility criteria for lecturer ship.
Also please check below link:
http://www.gujaratset.ac.in/eng/notification.html
Here the Exemption criteria is as follows:
NET/SET shall remain the minimum eligibility condition for recruitment and appointment of Lecturers in Universities/Colleges/Institutions. Provided, however, that candidates, who are or have been awarded Ph.D. Degree in compliance of the “University Grants Commission (minimum standards and procedure for award of Ph.D. Degree), Regulation 2009, shall be exempt from the requirement of the minimum eligibility condition of NET/SET for recruitment and appointment of Assistant Professor or equivalent positions in Universities/Colleges/Institutions.” The candidates who have passed the UGC/CSIR JRF examination prior to 1989 are also exempted from appearing in NET.
I am not able to understand the same. Please check this and Kindly let me know the current update about the same, whether NET is required or Not if I have a PhD degree in 2014.
The UGC regulation is very clear. No need for any doubts. If you are awarded Ph.D degree in compliance with the "ugc regulations for the award of M.Phil and Ph.D degree, 2009" you are exempted from laving LS (NET) for appointment as asst.professor.
If you are not through LS (NET) and also not having Ph.D degree, you are ineligible for Asst.professor ship.
If you are through LS (NET) and also not having Ph.D degree, you are ineligible for Asst.professor ship.
If you are not through LS (NET) and having Ph.D degree awarded based on the UGC regulation stated above, you are eligible for Asst.professor ship.
For you to be exempted from LS(NET), you should do
1. a course work during Ph.D.
2. Publication in a peer review journal.
I recommend you to read those regulations. Please visit UGC website and scroll down on REGULATIONS.
hi saibala,
Its is not the the issue to 2009 UGC guidlines!
For Asst: Prof: recruitment recent notifications of Central Universities( TN, Rajasthan) and UPSC stipulates essential qualification as NET or PhD accordance with UGC 2009 regulations.
Then what is the future of PhDs and those registered for PhD prior to 10th july 2010 ?
In most of the employment notifications of the Universities they do not state whether the above group can apply for the post.
But UGC in a meeting has decision to exempt the above category of PhDs. pls refer below
www.ugc.ac.in/more/commissiondecision/472.pdf
“The Commission further resolved that since both the above mentioned Regulations are prospective and not retrospective in nature, therefore, all candidates having M.Phil degree on or before 10 th July, 2009 shall remain exempted from the requirement of NET for the purpose of appointment as lecturer/Assistant Professor. Further, all candidates who have either obtained Ph.D degree on or before 31 st December, 2009 and candidates who had registered themselves for Ph.D degree on or before 10 th July, 2009 and are subsequently awarded Ph.D degree, shall remain exempted from the requirement of NET for the purpose of appointment as Lecturer/Assistant Professor”.
based on this can a PhD who has been awarded PhD or registered prior to 10 july 2010 apply for Asst: Prof post?
There is no controversy here. PhD holder, in all cases in exempted from clearning the NET exam . If you are a PhD holder, you are under no oblication to possess a valid NET score. don't worry about it. This is established by norms. Hoeever, If any recruiting agency demands clearance of NET (specifically), There is a option even for PhD holdes to write NET exam, But believe me Its not at all required!
It is a controversial issue and many state has taken different stand on it. According 2 recent CSIR & UGC guideline, u must hav 2 clear CSIR NET ( at least LS) 4 lecturership.
It is not clear yet the cut-off date for several candidates. There r many doubts over it.
What about those who submitted thesis b4 September' 2009 (when this regulation was not announced) ?
wt wl b der? if BSc and MSc sub are different?
Generally selection is made in stream-wise, smetimes specifications r also thr. So u need 2 chk the criteria b4 application.
as you can see in any lecturer notification eligibility will be given as candadidate who had msc degree and cleared net/set. as per ugc directives candate with phd will be exempted from clearing net/set.so if you have phd you need not clear met/set.
Pls let me know whether PhD degree holders r exempted 4m NET for lecturership.
SMALL MISTAKE IN MY PREVIOUS POST:
If you are though LS(NET) and not having Ph.D you are eligible for Asst.Professor ship
