Disparity in mark weightage for JRF & NET: PhD aspirants
Hyderabad: PhD aspirants, research scholars and student organisations have submitted a petition to Osmania University , demanding equal weightage for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and National Eligibility Test (NET) holders in admissions. They argue that, even under category 2 admissions, which are open to students with JRF, NET and State Eligibility Test (SET) qualifications, candidates with JRF qualifications are given an unfair advantage. "Under category 1 admissions, only JRF students are admitted. They have the opportunity to apply once every six months. Now, in category 2, OU is giving them an extra 5 marks, which will give them an unfair advantage. How is this fair?" asked Satya Nelli, a research scholar. He added that, during the 2022–23 admissions, both JRF and NET candidates were awarded 15 marks. However, this year, JRF candidates have been given an additional five marks. They urged the university to rectify the disparity in the weighting of marks allocated to JRF and NET holders under category 2 PhD admissions for the 2025 academic year. They claim that the recent change imposes an additional barrier for NET/SET holders, who are only eligible under category 2, as they now face a further disadvantage due to the unequal marking system.

Previous 2 years NET qualifiers eligible for PhD admission at PRSU
Prayagraj: Candidates who passed the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test ( UGC-NET ) two years ago will also be able to take admission in PhD programmes at Prof. Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) State University (PRSU) and its affiliated colleges. Previously, the option of admission was given only to the NET pass candidates of this year. The last date for online application for admission in PhD is May 31. According to Vice Chancellor, PRSU, Prof. Akhilesh Kumar Singh, this time admission in PhD will be based on the NET score, with 70% weightage given to the NET score and 30% to the marks awarded in the interview of the individual candidate. Admission will be granted on the basis of the overall merit position of the student for the PhD programme. Candidates who passed JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) will get maximum benefit in weightage. NET qualified candidates are eligible for three categories. Candidates whose NET percentile is high will be in category-1. The NET percentile of the candidates in these three categories will be converted into 70% weightage. At the same time, the university itself will conduct the interview with 30% weightage. The special aspect is that the NET percentile of category-1 (JRF) candidates will have more weightage, so they will have more benefit in admission. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cadou Perfect pentru Copii sau Părinți - Tabletă Practică!
