UGC reduces the NET Qualifying Criteria for OBC Candidates

University Grants Commission (UGC) has finally approved the proposal to reduce the qualifying criteria for OBC Candidates appearing for the National Eligibility Test (NET), which determines the eligibility of a candidate for teaching at higher education institutions.

Till now, OBC candidates had to score a minimum of 60 per cent to qualify UGC NET, but now they have got 5 per cent relaxation by the commission. With this, the OBC candidates have now come parallel to SC/ST candidates who have already been enjoying the 55 per cent qualifying score.
