The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to update the syllabi of the UGC-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and for the eligibility test for appointment as assistant professors in various subjects. The UGC will soon form an expert committee to undertake this work.
The UGC-NET examinations are held twice a year in 83 subjects, usually in June and December, and thousands of students attend these examinations.
