Factors Determining UGC NET Cutoff

It is a well-known fact that UGC NET cutoff changes every year due to a range of factors that affect the exam and recruitment process. Check the factors influencing UGC NET cutoff mentioned below:

Overall UGC NET Exam Difficulty: The exam difficulty level plays a major role in determining the UGC NET cutoff score. If the exam is tough, the cutoffs are lowered, and vice versa.
Previous Year Cutoff Trends: UGC NET Cutoffs follow a similar pattern and this can be determined by checking the UGC NET previous year cutoffs. The current academic year cutoffs are always similar to the previous year’s.
Total Number of Candidates: The total number of aspirants applying for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship posts through the UGC NET also affects the cutoff. The more number of applications, the higher the cutoffs are set to only select the best candidates.
Overall Performance of Candidates: The performance of candidates in the UGC NET exam also affects the cutoff. If candidates have performed better in general on the exam, the cutoff is raised and vice versa.
