The issue between the UGC (University Grants Commission) and NET
candidates have finally come to an end. Yes,on Friday, following a
Supreme Court order in relief to the aspirants of NET the UGC has
withdrawn its decision to increase the cut-off marks for clearing the
NET.
The issue raised when the UGC has increased the eligibility scores by
15% without spreading a notice to its candidates. And hence students who
have already applied for NET roared up and filed a petition against the
act by UGC.
Including the cutoffs UGC had also made several changes in the month of
June 2012, and the candidates were brought into light about the changes
only when the UGC had announced it just a day before announcing the
results of the exam on September 18, 2012.
The NET (National Eligibility Test) is is conducted by the National
Educational Testing Bureau of the UGC, which determines the eligibility
for lectureship and for awarding Junior research fellowship to ensure
minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and
research.
Initially the notification said that, candidates belonging to the SC/ST
sections needed 35, 35 and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers
1, 2 and 3. And the marks to be obtained by the OBC's were set as 35, 35
and 68 and for those candidates belonging to General category it was
40, 40 and 75. But, when the results were announced, candidates who have
been eligible as per the initial criteria failed to be qualified.
The sources revealed that, based on the new criteria, the percentage of
marks to be scores by candidates belonging to different categories has
been increased by 15%. And hence the petition was filed against UGC.
Finally, on Friday, the Supreme Court had issued an order saying that
"The UGC's decision was invalid as it did not follow the exam policy in
announcing the changes in cut-offs and that too, in such a short period
of time". However, the decision was a relief to students of NET.
Please Note: This decision is applicable for those candidates who had
attended the UGC NET June 2012 Examination too.
