Qualifying Criteria And Cut-Off Percentages For Junior Research Fellowship And Eligibility For Assistant Professor In June 2014 UGC NET.
The procedure and criteria for declaration of result for UGC-NET held on 29th June, 2014 comprises of the following steps:
Step I :
Minimum marks to be obtained in UGC-NET for considering a candidate for the award of JRF and eligibility for Assistant Professor:
The candidates are required to obtain the following minimum marks separately in Paper-I, Paper-II and Paper-III as given below:
| CATEGORY | Minimum Marks (%) to be obtained | ||
| PAPER – I | PAPER – II | PAPER– III | |
| GENERAL | 40 (40%) | 40 (40%) | 75 (50 %) |
| OBC (Non-Creamy layer)/PWD/SC/ST | 35 (35%) | 35 (35%) | 60 (40 %) |
Step II:
Amongst those candidates who have cleared step-I, a merit list was prepared subject-wise and category-wise using the aggregate marks of all the three papers secured by such candidates.
Step III:
Top 15% candidates (for each subject and category), from the merit list mentioned under step-II, have been declared qualified for eligibility for Assistant Professor only. By this method, if the number obtained is less than one, it is taken as at least one, i.e., a minimum of one candidate is qualified wherever a fraction less than one is obtained as per this methodology. However, for fractions greater than one, the figure is rounded off to the nearest whole number.
Criteria for Awarding Junior Research Fellowships
Out of the candidates qualified for eligibility for Assistant Professor, those candidates who had applied for JRF, were in the consideration zone for the award of slots available for JRF. The methodology for allocation of JRF slots among different subjects category-wise described below is in addition to the category-wise minimum criterion for eligibility for Assistant Professor.

However, for fractions greater than one, the figure is roundedoff to the nearest whole number.
- The aggregate percentage of all the three papers corresponding to thenumber of JRF slots derived as described above is taken as the cut-offpercentage for awarding JRF for any particular subject category-wise.
