UGC NET is one of the most difficult national level test for post graduate for research and lectureship areas. We can give or suggestions and feedback to the questionnaire asked by UGC NET. This shall help us and other people to go for betterment. This is the best opportunity for us to raise the voice for required changes. Let us discuss the need of change.
Whether NET is an effective tool for identifying entrants in teaching profession in higher education?
UGC NET is national level test in which candidates from all over India appears. This is very beneficial for the eligibility point of view in terms of lectureship. Although, any 3 to 6 hours paper can not decide the level of intelligence of any candidate. It is just a channel to enter into the areas of research and lectureship.
However, there are other eligibility tests too for lectureship at national level. On contrary, candidates getting qualified in any other entrance of their own stream are distinguished from the candidates qualifying UGC NET. This makes discrimination among eligible candidates.
Whether there should be an age limit for appearing in NET?
Every citizen of India have right to work. Sooner or later, if he/she realize the need of pursuing further studies/ career, there should be support from government as well. Age limit is not bad but enhancing the same for few more years would be beneficial for the aspirants.
Whether the number of chances for appearing in NET should be limited?
The number of chances for appearing for UGC NET should not be limited as aspirants may need some time to come upto the difficulty level of UGC NET and cope with hard questions. Also, after droping out admission with JRF due to some unavoidable reason, later if one feels the need of pursuing career further, he wont be able to apply for the same again.
On the other and, various coaching institute instructors qualify UGC NET multiple times to make their resume and business breathe longer.
Whether candidates in the first year of their Master’s degree or equivalent course should be permitted to appear in NET?
Yes, as UGC NET score is valid for two years, candidates should be allowed to qualify and secure the backup plan in first year itself during graduation. With increase in competition, it gets difficult for candidates to face multiple exams and wait for results so long after completing post graduation. However, post graduation complete should be mandatory for further process.
Whether existing format of objective questions for paper I, II & III needs to be changed?
No. i do not think so.
Whether NET be conducted in two stages, i.e., screening test in objective mode for Paper I and Paper II (II+III of existing pattern) followed by main subject examination in descriptive mode?
No, it will unnecessarily cause more delay in declaration of results and candidates need to wait for longer.
Whether there should be negative marking in case of MCQs?
Yes, hit and trials work for many candidates and this gets totally luck based. India needs talented crowd and not lucky ones to pursue further research or lectureship post.
Whether the upper age limit of UGC-JRF needs to be raised?
Yes.
In order to overcome varying difficulty levels of question papers of different subjects, whether only certain defined percentage of candidates from the top of the merit lists of candidates of different subjects and category be declared qualified?
Yes. This is because this way the requirement will be covered ratio-wise and the cutoff marks shall not pick more or less number of candidates required.
Whether there should be uniform qualifying cutoff for all subjects?
No, this shall create chaos among candidates because every subjects undergoes different difficulty level and number of candidates appearing for the same. Moreover, marks obtained by candidates also vary average and percentile for each subject.
