UGC NET June 2024

University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test - UGC NET June 2024

National Testing Agency (NTA) has invited applications for the University Grants Commission (UGC) National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET), 2024. This is a test to determine eligibility of Indian nationals under 3 categories: Category-1 -Award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and appointment as Assistant Professor; Category-2-Appointment as Assistant Professor and admission to Ph.D.; Category-3- Admission to Ph.D. only in Indian universities/colleges/higher education institutions.

The JRF-qualified candidates are admitted into the Ph.D. programme based on an interview.  UGC NET under category-2 category-3 can be used as an entrance test for Ph.D. admission in place of entrance tests conducted by the different universities/HEIs for admission to Ph.D. For candidates of these 2 categories, marks obtained in the NET will have 70% weightage and performance in the interview/viva voce conducted by the University/HEI concerned, 30% weightage. Ph.D. admission will be based on the combined merit of the two components.

For admission to Ph.D., the marks obtained in the NET by the candidates in category-2 and category-3 will be valid for a period of one year from the date of declaration of the result of UGC-NET. The result of NET will be declared in percentile along with the marks obtained by a candidate to utilize the marks for admission to Ph.D. The number of candidates who will be qualified for 'admission to the Ph.D. only' will be decided by the results committee.

The selection of candidates for the following Fellowships will be made through the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment: (i) National Fellowship for Scheduled Caste Students (NFSC) (ii) National Fellowship for Other Backward Classes (NFOBC) (iii) National Fellowship for Persons with Disabilities (NFPwD). Those aspiring for the Fellowships listed above, shall also have to apply for the Test.

UGC NET June 2024 will be conducted in 83 subjects in OMR (Pen & Paper) mode on 16 June 2024. List of subjects is given at Appendix -II of the Information Bulletin at https://ugcnet.nta.ac.in/. Applicants may appear in the subject of their Post-Graduation only. Those applicants whose Post-Graduation subject is not covered in the list of NET subjects, may appear in a related subject.

The Test of 3 hours' duration will consist of two papers. Both the papers will consist of objective type, multiple choice questions. There will be no break between papers. Structure of the Test is given in the Information Brochure. Syllabus for all NET Subjects can be downloaded from https://www.ugcnetonline.in/syllabus-new.php

The global dimensions of disaster

Disasters are not merely natural occurrences but complex interactions between natural hazards and human vulnerabilities. To effectively address disaster risk, we must consider several interconnected dimensions: 1. Vulnerability: Definition: The susceptibility of individuals, communities, or assets to harm from a disaster. Factors: Socioeconomic conditions, geographic location, and environmental factors influence vulnerability. Example: Communities with high poverty rates and limited access to resources are more vulnerable to disaster impacts. 2. Exposure: Definition: The degree to which people, property, and infrastructure are located in hazard-prone areas. Factors: Population density, land use patterns, and infrastructure development influence exposure. Example: Coastal cities with high population density are highly exposed to hurricane and tsunami risks. 3. Capacity: Definition: A community's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Factors: Strong ...

Overview of Disasters in India

India's Vulnerability to Natural Disasters India's diverse geography and climate make it highly susceptible to a range of natural disasters. These events, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, cyclones, and landslides, can have devastating consequences for millions of people and the economy. Major Natural Disasters Affecting India: Earthquakes: Tectonic Setting: India's position on the Indian Plate, which is colliding with the Eurasian Plate, makes it prone to seismic activity. Impact: Earthquakes can cause widespread destruction, including building collapses, landslides, and tsunamis. The 2001 Gujarat earthquake is a prime example of such devastation. Tsunamis: Oceanic Triggers: Underwater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can generate tsunamis, as seen in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Impact: Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to tsunamis, which can lead to massive loss of life and property. Floods: Monsoon Influence: India's...

Water Act 1974

The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974 is a significant piece of legislation in India aimed at preventing and controlling water pollution. Here are some key facts about the Act: 1. Objective: The primary objective is to prevent and control water pollution and maintain or restore the wholesomeness of water in the country. 2. Establishment of Boards:    - Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB): The Act mandates the establishment of the CPCB to oversee and coordinate activities across the nation and advise the Central Government.    - State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs): Each state is required to establish its own SPCB to plan comprehensive programs for the prevention and control of pollution. 3. Powers and Functions:    - The Boards have the authority to inspect any sewage or trade effluents, works, and plants for the treatment of sewage and trade effluents.    - They can establish standards for the discharge of pollutants into water bodies and ensure adherence to...

Environment Management DRR

Environmental management plays a crucial role in disaster risk reduction (DRR) by harnessing the power of natural ecosystems to prevent and mitigate the impacts of disasters. By protecting and restoring these ecosystems, we can strengthen community resilience and promote sustainable development. Interconnections Between Environmental Management and DRR: Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR): Natural Barriers: Ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and coral reefs act as natural barriers, reducing the impact of hazards like floods, landslides, and storm surges. Resilience Building: Healthy ecosystems enhance community resilience by absorbing excess rainfall, preventing erosion, and mitigating the effects of climate change. Environmental Considerations in Disaster Planning: Sustainable Practices: Incorporating environmental considerations into disaster planning helps prevent further environmental degradation, which can exacerbate disaster impacts. Resource Conservati...

Forset management and water conservation

Forest management and water conservation are closely intertwined concepts, as forests play a crucial role in maintaining water resources. Here's an explanation of their connection: 1. Water Regulation: Forests act as natural sponges, absorbing rainwater and releasing it gradually. Trees help regulate water flow, preventing rapid runoff and reducing the risk of floods. 2. Groundwater Recharge: Trees contribute to groundwater recharge by allowing rainwater to percolate into the soil. This replenishes underground aquifers, which are important sources of freshwater. 3. Erosion Control: Forests provide vegetation cover that protects soil from erosion caused by rainfall. This, in turn, helps maintain the quality of water bodies by preventing sedimentation. 4. Streamflow Maintenance: Healthy forests ensure consistent streamflow. Trees release water through transpiration, influencing local and regional precipitation patterns and sustaining rivers and streams. 5. Biodiversity and Water Qual...
