| CATEGORY | Minimum Marks (%) to be obtained | ||
| PAPER – I | PAPER – II | PAPER – III | |
| GENERAL | 40% aggregate marks in all the three papers taken together | ||
| OBC (Non-creamy layer)/PwD/SC/ST | 35% aggregate marks in all the three papers taken together | ||
Step II: Amongst those candidates who have appeared in all three papers and cleared step I, a merit list will be prepared subject-wise and category-wise using the aggregate marks of all the three papers secured by such candidates.
Step III: The number of slots for eligibility for Assistant Professor only will be equal to the 6% of the candidates appeared in all three papers of NET. The subject-wise and category-wise distribution of slots will be calculated by using the similar formula as used for calculation slots of JRF as mentioned on the next page.
