MOD OF SELECTION

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR NORMALIZATION AND PREPARATION OF RESULT:

Step-1

Distribution of Examinees in two shifts: Candidates have to be distributed into two sessions randomly so that each session has an approximately equal number of candidates. These two sessions would be as follows:

Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1,

Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2 In the event of more days or less number of shifts, the candidates will be divided accordingly.

This will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who shall take the examination.

Step-2

Preparation of Results for Each Session: The Examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of

1. Raw Scores

2. Percentiles Scores of Total raw scores.

The Percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the Session as follows:

Let TP1 be the Percentile Score of the Total Raw Score of that candidate.

Total Percentile (TP1) : 100 x No. of candidates who appeared from the session with a raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the T1 score / Total No. of candidates who appeared in the session

Step-3

Compilation of NTA score and Preparation of Result: The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the sessions (Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2) as calculated in Step-2 above would be merged and shall be called the NTA scores which will then be used for the compilation of result and further processing for deciding the allocation.

Procedure and Criteria for Declaration of Result

The following steps will be followed:

Step I: The number of candidates to be qualified (total slots or Eligibility for Assistant Professor) shall be equal to 6% of the candidates who appeared in both the papers of NET.

Step II: The total slots shall be allocated to different categories as per the reservation policy of the Government of India.

Step III: In order to be considered for ‘JRF and Eligibility for Assistant Professor’ and for ‘Assistant Professor’, the candidate must have appeared in both the papers and secured at least 40% aggregate marks in both the papers taken together for General (Unreserved) / General-EWS category candidates and at least 35% aggregate marks in both the papers taken together for all candidates belonging to the reserved categories (viz., SC, ST, OBC (belonging to Non- Creamy Layer), PwD and Third gender).

Step IV: The number of candidates to be declared qualified in any subject for a particular category is derived as per the methodology illustrated below:

For Example:

CASE
Number of candidates to be declared qualified for Eligibility for Assistant Professor in the subject ‘Economics’ for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category	A number of candidates belonging to the SC category who secure at least 35% aggregate marks in both the papers taken together for the SC category for ‘Economics’ (x) Total slots derived for the SC category as per Step II (÷) a Total number of candidates belonging to SC category over all subjects who secure at least 35% aggregate marks in both the Papers taken together.

1. The aggregate percentage of the two papers corresponding to the number of slots arrived at, shall determine the qualifying cut-off for Eligibility for Assistant Professor ‘in ‘Economics’ for the SC category.

2. A similar yardstick shall be employed for deriving the subject-wise qualifying cut-offs for all categories.

Step V: All candidates who had applied for ‘Eligibility for JRF & Eligibility for Assistant Professor both’ out of the total number of qualified candidates derived as per Step IV, shall constitute the consideration zone for JRF.

Step VI: The total number of slots available for awarding JRF is allocated among different categories as per the reservation policy of the Government of India. The procedure for subject-wise cum category-wise allocation of JRF slots is illustrated below:

For Example:

Number of candidates to be declared qualified for JRF & Eligibility for Assistant Professor both in the subject ‘Economics’ for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category

A number of candidates belonging to the ST category who have opted for JRF and have qualified for Eligibility for Assistant Professor in the subject ‘Economics’ (x) Total JRF slots available for ST category (÷) Total number of candidates belonging to the ST category over all subjects who have opted for JRF and have Qualified for Eligibility for Assistant Professor.

The aggregate percentage of the two paper scores corresponding to the number of JRF slots arrived at, shall determine the qualifying cut-off for JRF in ‘Economics’ for the ST category. A similar procedure is used for all subjects and categories.

It may be noted that the above qualifying criteria decided by UGC are final and binding. Results of the examination shall be hosted on NTA website https://ugcnet.nta.nic.in/
