UGC Withdraws Decision To Increase NET Cut-off Marks, Students Win Appeal
The issue between the UGC (University Grants Commission) and NET candidates have finally come to an end. Following a Supreme Court order on Friday, 21 December 2012, the UGC has withdrawn its decision to increase the cut-off marks for clearing the NET.
The NET (National Eligibility Test) is conducted in the months of June and December every year by the National Educational Testing Bureau of the UGC, which determines the eligibility for lectureship and for awarding Junior research fellowship to ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and research.
The UGC, however, increased the eligibility scores by 15% and made several other changes in the June 2012 exam without notifying its candidates . The candidates learnt about the changes only when the UGC announced it a day after announcing the results of the exam on September 18. And hence students who have already applied for NET roared up and filed a petition against the act by UGC.
As per the earlier notices, candidates belonging to the SC/ST sections needed 35, 35 and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers 1, 2 and 3. And the marks to be obtained by the OBC’s were set as 35, 35 and 68 and for those candidates belonging to General category it was 40, 40 and 75. But, when the results were announced, candidates who were been eligible as per the initial criteria failed to qualify. Sources revealed that, based on the new criteria, the percentage of marks to be scores by candidates belonging to different categories has been increased by 15%. And hence a petition was filed against UGC.
Finally, on 21 December, the Supreme Court issued an order stating the UGC’s decision to be 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.”

Yes sir I agree you
Muje bhi laagta hai SC ne aabhi tak na koi order or Judgement copy issued nahi ki i think SC ne UGC ki appeal rejected ki ye or na UGC ne official koi letter ya press news uniki website par dali hai
I think MR. Hitendrasinh Trikamsinh Desai jai se log sirf public city ke liye aaise news sirf copy or pest karte hai unke pass koi authentic news ya proof nahi hota
i think Mr. Jomy jose is doing well on this subject lekin mr. Desai jaise jaise log unko par jalte hoge or phele news dene ke daud mai aaise copy pest news ya par posted kar dete hai
muje laagta hai ye news es ke phele 07/01/2013 ko daink Bhaskar mai aaye hai tho ye news purani hai
