NAGPUR: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has notified the UGC-NET 2018 for Junior Research Fellowship & Eligibility for Assistant Professor with some drastic changes. While the age limit for JRF has been increased from 28 to 30 years, the third paper has been scrapped bring the duration of exam down by 2 hours.
For reserved categories, the new age limit is now 35 years.
The online applications would start from March 6 and the exam would be held on July 8. The last date to fill up the form is April 5, 2018.
Teaching community has welcomed the move and at the same time demanded that negative marking too should be introduced in the National Eligibility Test. The National Forum for Quality Education Mumbai said that it would request the HRD ministry and UGC to include negative marking like CAT, CSIR-NET, and GATE.
Earlier, the NET consisted Paper I (100marks), Paper II (100) and Paper III (150). Now, aspirants would have to appear for only Paper I (100marks) and Paper II (200 marks). The first will be of one-hour duration while the second would be two hours. All multiple choice questions would be compulsory. The exam will be organized into two sessions as per the earlier examination with the new changes mentioned in the notification.
"Negative marking should be there to increase the credibility of the test," said associate professor Dipendra Bendre, who is the member of the forum.
Kushal Mude, Ramesh Zade, and Subhash Khakse of the forum said this is a welcome move by the UGC.
"But, there is a need for transparency in the recruitment procedure. Nowadays even after clearing the NET, candidates have to shell out Rs 30 lakh for the assistant professorship. It is a distant dream for poor students who aspire to become teachers," they said.
The added that they expect the recruitment for lecturer should be done through central recruitment exam like Teacher Aptitude and Intelligence Test (TAIT) held in Maharashtra for the recruitment of Primary, Secondary and Junior College Teacher.
