State Test SET comes back after 13 years

Posted On: 03/04/2012 Updated On:

The State-Level Eligibility Test has been finally restored after nearly 13 years.The University Grants Commission accorded accreditation to Osmania University to conduct APSET for this year in 24 subjects, according to a missive reaching OU on Monday. Confirming the development, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Satyanarayana said, “We will issue a notification in 15 days.” SET was last held in the state in 1998, with students writing the National Eligibility Test conducted by UGC since then. Under new UGC norms, qualification in NET or SET is mandatory for appointment as faculty in universities and degree colleges.

But since NET was held only in English and Hindi, Telugu medium students found it difficult. As a result, fewer than 3 per cent candidates, out of 10,000
registered, cleared NET in the last few years. Students have been urging UGC to bring SET back to give the Telugu students a shot at parity.

OU will hold the test in anthropology, commerce, economics, English, life sciences, management, history, mathematics, physical education, political science, public administration, Telugu, chemical sciences, computer science, earth sciences, linguistics, law, education, Hindi, physical sciences, philosophy, psychology, sociology and Urdu.
OU notifications OU notified admission to PG courses in Osmania, Telangana, Mahatma Gandhi and Palamur universities for 2012-13. Details are listed in http://www.osmania.ac.in. OU PG College of Science, Saifabad, Hyderabad, has been renamed as University College of Science, Saifabad, (OU), Hyderabad.
