UGC NET Exam for 4-year UG students
The authority has also decided to allow candidates with a 4-year undergraduate degree holder to appear for the UGN NET exam. UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar said “Currently, an assistant professor can admit 4 PhD candidates and an associate professor can take 6 students and a professor can take 10 PhD students. So, we already have a large number of opportunities to admit PhD students. However, we will have to see whether the student has the aptitude for doing a PhD. He further added, “PhD is not an undergraduate or master’s program and that’s the reason why we are saying that the student has to clear the UGC NET but they have to attend an interview at the university where their research aptitude, their readiness for doing research will be examined.”.
