The candidates clearing the test for university teachers will be eligible to apply as assistant professors across universities and colleges in India.However, the candidates who qualify for the award of JRF are eligible for both, research in the subject related to their post-graduation and for the post of assistant professor across academic institutions. The universities, institutions, IITs and other national organizations may select the JRF awardees for whole time research work in accordance with the procedure prescribed by them.NET is conducted biannually by the CBSE on behalf of the UGC in 84 subjects across 90 cities.However, the CBSE's role is only limited to conducting the tests. According to a report in The Indian Express, the CBSE is unlikely to hold the test from next year onward as it is overburdened with the board examination procedures. CBSE has reportedly asked the HRD ministry to take away the responsibility from them.With inputs from PTI
