The National Eligibility Test (NET), also known as UGC NET or NTA-UGC-NET, is an examination conducted by the National Testing Agency on behalf of the University Grants Commission to determine eligibility for the post of assistant professor and/or Junior Research Fellowship award in Indian universities and colleges. Until July 2018, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the UGC NET exam, which the NTA has been conducting since December 2018.
