UGC NET Cutoff 2022

UGC NET cutoff 2022 for the Assistant Professor General category was 184 for Mass Communication and Journalism, 182 for Economics and so on. The cut-off for the UGC NET exam 2022 was published by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on April 13, 2023. To be eligible for the position of Assistant Professor or Junior Research Fellowship, the National Testing Agency (NTA) selects the top 6% of candidates in each field and compiles a merit list. The NTA also creates a special merit list for candidates who meet the requirements for the UGC NET Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), taking into account their age eligibility.

The UGC NET passing marks are 40% for general category candidates and 35% for candidates from reserved categories. The process to calculate cut-off marks for UGC NET varies for assistant professors and combined (JRF and assistant professors).
