UGC will form an expert committee and undertake this exercise. Candidates will be given sufficient time before this new syllabus is introduced in UGC-NET so that the changeover happens smoothly.
The curriculum of the National Eligibility Test — an eligibility examination compulsory for candidates planning teaching jobs in higher educational institutions in India — will be revised, informed M Jagadesh Kumar, chairman, UGC. The revision of the syllabus has been decided in a meeting held on November 3.
UGC will form an expert committee and undertake this exercise. “Candidates will be given sufficient time before this new syllabus is introduced in UGC-NET so that the changeover happens smoothly,” informed Kumar.
University Grants Commission, the country’s apex education regulator, last initiated the process to update the syllabi of UGC-NET subjects in 2017.
“However, after launching the National Education Policy (NEP) in 2020, there have been considerable developments in higher education to impart multidisciplinary curricula and holistic education. Therefore, the commission has decided that an exercise to update the syllabi of the subjects of UGC-NET may be undertaken,” he further added.
On behalf of UGC, the National Testing Agency conducts the UGC-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and the appointment as assistant professor in Humanities and Social Sciences, including Indian and some foreign languages, as well as in certain science subjects. The UGC-NET exam is held twice a year (usually in June and December) in 83 subjects.
