Supreme Court relief to NET candidates

In a relief to thousands of aspirants takingthe national eligibility test (NET), the UGC has withdrawn its decision to increase the cut-off marks for clearing the NET, following a Supreme Court order on Friday. The UGC had increased the eligibility score by 15% without notice.

The national educational testing bureau of the UGC conducts the NET for determining the eligibility for lectureship and for awarding junior research fellowship to ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and research. The NET is conducted in June and December every year.

The UGC, however, made several changes in the June 2012 exam, including increasing the cut-off marks. The candidates learnt about the changes only when the UGC announced it a day after announcing the results of the exam on September 18.

As per the initial notification, candidates belonging to the SC/ST sections needed 35, 35, and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers 1, 2 and 3. The marks to be obtained by the OBCs were set as 35, 35, and 68 and for those belonging to the general category it was 40, 40, and 75. But, when the results were announced, candidates who would've been eligible as per the initial criteria failed to qualify.

As per the new criteria, the percentage of marks to be scored by candidates belonging to different categories has been increased by 15%.

This made several students file an affidavit with the SC against the UGC regarding change in norms. On Friday, the SC issued an order saying that the UGC's decision was invalid as it did not follow the exam policy in announcing the changes in cut-offs and that, too, in such a short period of time. An official at the University of Pune that conducts the NET exam said, "The SC decision is valid for all candidates who sat for the June 2012 examinations. The old cut-offs will be considered and new results will be announced."

WHY FILING PETITION AGAINST UGC IN COURTS ?

Recently,

I have seen several posts regarding filing petition against UGC in courts.

I think candidates are enthusiastic by Kerala high court verdict.

But, wait.

The game is not over yet..

UGC decision is yet to come. Its a statutory body.

Dear friends, what do you think about the situation,

if there is 1 Lakh NET qualified candidate per session June & December?

.after that for 1 post 1000 candidate will apply.

All of you are demanding reduction of qualifying marks.

In objective mode without negative marking, its not a big deal to score 40+40+75 (UR) and less for Quota candidates.

If your luck favours, U may score easily.

I am just asking 1 question.

How many of you can challenge me that "I HAVE ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS CONFIDENTLY. I WAS 100% SURE ABOUT THE OPTION I HAVE CHOSEN"

I can bet that if UGC re-examine the answer script with negative marking, the result count will come to 30%
