SC relief to NET candidates - The Times of
India (Dec 24, 2012)PUNE: In a relief to thousands of aspirants taking the
national eligibility test (NET), the UGC has withdrawn its decision to increase
the cut-off marks for clearing the NET, following a Supreme Court order on Friday.
The UGC had increased the eligibility score by 15% without notice. The national
educational testing bureau of the UGC conducts the NET for determining the
eligibility for lectureship and for awarding junior research fellowship to
ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and
research. The NET is conducted in June and December every year. The UGC,
however, made several changes in the June 2012 exam, including increasing the
cut-off marks. The candidates learnt about the changes only when the UGC
announced it a day after announcing the results of the exam on September 18. As
per the initial notification, candidates belonging to the SC/ST sections needed
35, 35, and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers 1, 2 and 3. The marks to
be obtained by the OBCs were set as 35, 35, and 68 and for those belonging to
the general category it was 40, 40, and 75. But, when the results were
announced, candidates who would've been eligible as per the initial criteria
failed to qualify. As per the new criteria, the percentage of marks to be
scored by candidates belonging to different categories has been increased by
15%. This made several students file an affidavit with the SC against the UGC
regarding change in norms. On Friday, the SC issued an order saying that the
UGC's decision was 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."

NET - National Eligibility Test - UGC UGC norms for
NET declared illegal by Kerala High Court The Kerala High court today declared
as illegal the new norms fixed by UGC for the National Eligiblity Test (NET)
for college and university lectureship. "The power of UGC ought to have
been excercised in a proper, fair and reasonable manner," Justice T R Ramachandran
Nair held while allowing a batch of petitions challenging the new norms.
The court held that fixing of higher aggregate marks for three categories, that
too just before the announcements of results, cannot be justified as the same
was "not supportable by law". It also declared that all those who
have obtained minimum marks prescribed in the notification have cleared NET and
appropriate follow up action be taken to issue certificates to them within one
month. By changing the standards at the final stage and just before declaration
of results, "it can be definitely be seen that it affected adversely the
expectations of a large number of candidates", the court said. As per the
new norms, candidates in general category have to score aggregate of 65 per
cent in all three NET papers to be eligible for college and university
lectureship while OBC candidates need to score 60 per cent and SC/ST candidates
55 per cent. Previous norms had stipulated that the general category had to get
40 per cent in Paper I and Paper II and 50 per cent in Paper III. In case of
OBC, SC/ST students, the qualifying percentage was 35, 35, 45 and 35, 35, 40 in
all three papers. The declaration of new norms had been opposed by students who
appeared in the examination in June this year.
