The UGC, , was formally established only in November 1956 as a statutory body of the Government of India through an Act of Parliament for the coordination, determination and maintenance of standards of university education in India. In order to ensure effective region-wise coverage throughout the country, the UGC has decentralised its operations by setting up six regional centres at Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bhopal, Guwahati and Bangalore. The head office of the UGC is located at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi, with two additional bureaus operating from 35, Feroze Shah Road and the South Campus of University of Delhi as well.

UGC National Eligibility Test For Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) & Eligibility For Lectureship

Genesis of National Eligibility Test (NET)

In early eighties, there was a general perception among the public and the leading educationists

that well qualified persons were not being attracted towards

teaching profession. Concerns were also expressed about the

criteria that were employed for the selection of teachers. It was

increasingly realized that quite a large number of people who

neither had the competence nor the aptitude for teaching made an

easy entry into this profession.

The Committee formed by UGC in 1983 on revision of pay scales

of teachers in the universities and colleges under the Chairmanship

of Prof. R C Mehrotra recommended the following for the post of

Lecturer:

“i) Qualifying at the National test conducted for the purpose by UGC or any other agency

approved by UGC.

ii) Master’s degree with at least 55 % marks or its equivalent grade.

The qualifications should not be relaxed even

for candidates possessing M.Phil/Ph.D at the

time of recruitment.” The Mehrotra

Committee also found that the stipulation of

M.Phil/Ph.D. as an essential qualification for

Lecturers had neither been followed faithfully

nor did it necessarily contribute to the raising

of teaching and research standards. In fact, it

was of the view that, if at all, it had led to the

dilution of research standards on account of

the rush to get a research degree in the

shortest possible time. In view of the diversity of standards among universities, the Mehrotra

Committee recommended that passing a national qualifying examination before recruitment be

made an essential pre-condition.

In pursuance of Mehrotra Committee recommendation, The National Commission of

Teachers on Higher Education (Prof. Rais Ahmed), The National Policy on Education, 1986 ,

it was suggested in the Program of Action of National Policy of Education, 1986 that: “the teachers will be recruited on the basis of a common qualifying test, the details of which will

be formulated by UGC. Efforts will be made to move towards the objective of making

recruitment of teachers on all India basis in consultation with the State Governments”.

With a view to working out the modalities for the conduct of such a test, the Commission had

constituted a Committee, which evolved strategies for the conduct of a national level

eligibility test for the recruitment of teachers in universities and colleges. Consequently, the

Government on India, through a notification in 1988 entrusted the task of conducting the

eligibility test for lectureship to UGC. Thereby, UGC has been conducting the National

Eligibility Test for Junior Research Fellowship and eligibility for Lectureship since 1989. It

had already been conducting the examination for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) since

1984.
