The deadline to apply for UGC NET and CSIR NET entrance exams has also been extended. Taking into consideration the case of students who are dependent on the internet cafes to submit their application form, the NTA has also permitted the students to apply without submitting the scanned copies of their educational documents.
Students will need to submit the relevant documents at a later stage, the NTA said. However, uploading the scanned copy of signature and photograph have been kept mandatory to apply for the exam.
After students clear the National Eligibility Test, they become eligible as Assistant Professors in different colleges and universities across the country.
One need to obtain atleast 40 per cent marks in the exam (35 % for reserved categories) to clear the exam.
