Upon clearing the UGC NET exam, candidates become eligible to apply for the post of assistant professor, and those who qualify for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) can also receive a monthly stipend to pursue research and a PhD. All three are alumni of Guru Nanak College Budhlada. Twenty-eight-year-old Rimpi Kaur pursued a Master of Computer Application, Beant Kaur (26) did a Master of Arts in History, and twenty-three-year-old Hardeep Kaur did an MA in Punjabi. The three have a younger brother, who is depressed. Father Bikkar Singh works as a granthi, who earlier was associated with a gurdwara but now works independently. Mother Manjit Kaur is a daily wager and works in the fields. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo The family somehow managed their studies. Now, the three want to find jobs as assistant professors. "Seeing our parents working very hard to provide us with the best possible education like sons, we wanted to become self-reliant and worked very hard to clear the NET as we wanted to support the family. As we have cleared the NET together, now our focus is to get jobs, maybe in private colleges," said Rimpi Kaur. Rimpi earlier worked as a teacher in a private school for nearly two years, but left the job to concentrate on the UGC NET. Beant Kaur and Hardeep Kaur also said that as their parents have discharged their duty, it is time for them to support them. Beant Singh says, "I feel proud that all three daughters together cleared the NET and hope they soon will settle in their lives." MSID:: 122920858 413 |
