UGC ( CBSE) NET Previous Quota / Reservation Norms –
In the previous system, top 15% of candidates from each category could qualify for Asst Professor Posts. No of the candidates from the General Categories was fewer than that of the reserved categories owing to reservation policy.
As per the data released by the UGC that over the last 20 years, 68 to 92 % successful candidates who had cleared NET were from the reserved categories. It shows the decline in the no of of general categories who clears CBSE NET.
As a result, a plea was filed in the Keral High Court asking for the clearance over this issue. The HC asked UGC to examine past data and come up with new norms that would provide a level playing field for all candidates. The court also asked UGC to comply with the government’s Reservation Policy.
