The University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) 2024 results are on the horizon, sparking anticipation among candidates who appeared for the exam from August 21 to September 4, 2024.
Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), this prestigious exam determines eligibility for roles like Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).
UGC NET Result 2024
The UGC NET 2024 comprised two distinct papers: Paper 1, covering general teaching and research aptitude, and Paper 2, which is subject-specific.
To qualify, candidates need to excel in both papers. Paper 1 includes 50 questions on diverse topics like teaching aptitude and general awareness, while Paper 2 consists of 100 questions related to the candidate’s chosen subject.
UGC NET Scorecard Breakdown
Once the results are released, candidates can access their scorecards on the official NTA website.
The scorecard will detail:
- Candidate’s Name
- Roll Number
- Subject Code
- Total Marks for Paper 1 and Paper 2
- Percentile Scores for each paper
- Overall Percentile Score
- Qualifying Status (JRF or Assistant Professor)
Normalization and Score Calculation
Given that the UGC NET is held across multiple days and slots, the NTA applies a normalization process to ensure fairness.
This process converts raw scores into percentile scores, making it possible to compare candidates from different sessions accurately.
The formula for the UGC NET percentile score is:
UGC NET Percentile Score = 100 × (Number of candidates in the session with raw scores equal to or less than the candidate) ÷ (Total number of candidates in the session)
UGC NET Result Preparation
The result preparation involves releasing a provisional answer key first, allowing candidates to raise objections.
Following this, a final answer key is issued, and answer sheets are evaluated accordingly. The final qualifying status is then determined based on these evaluations.
Subject-Wise Cut-Off Marks
Cut-off marks for UGC NET vary by subject and category. These marks represent the minimum score required for qualification. For context, here are the cut-off marks from 2023:
- Economics: JRF – 212, Assistant Professor – 192
- Management: JRF – 180, Assistant Professor – 164
- Philosophy: JRF – 226, Assistant Professor – 206
- Psychology: JRF – 216, Assistant Professor – 196
