UGC has declared that National Eligibility Test (NET) as an Entrance Test for Admission to Ph.D

UGC vide circular dated 28th March, 2024 has declared that National Eligibility Test (NET) as an Entrance Test for Admission to Ph.D. To help the students with one national entrance test for admission to Ph.D. as a part of the implementation of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Commission in its 578th Meeting held on 13th March, 2024, decided that from the academic session 2024-25 onwards, the NET score can be used for admission to Ph.D. programmes in place of entrance tests conducted by the different universities/HEIs.

In view of the above, the HEIS are requested to utilize the NET score for admission to Ph.D. programmes instead of conducting their entrance tests from the forthcoming academic session 2024-2025.
