In preparation of the merit list 60% weightage is given to the performance in NET, and 20% each on academic performance and viva-voce.

There is no upper age limit for Lecturereship.

Pattern:

The test, consisting of three papers, is held in October every year. The first paper is of general nature intended to assess the aptitude of the candidate in research or teaching. Second and the third papers are subject based. First and second papers are objective and the third paper is descriptive. Selection of a Senior Research Fellow would depend upon the aggregate marks obtained in the written test, viva-voce and for academic performance.
