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

Disaster Management

1. Disaster Risk Analysis → Disaster Risk Reduction → Disaster Management Cycle Disaster Risk Analysis is the first step in managing disasters. It involves assessing potential hazards, identifying vulnerable populations, and estimating possible impacts. Once risks are identified, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies come into play. DRR aims to reduce risk and enhance resilience through planning, infrastructure development, and policy enforcement. The Disaster Management Cycle then ensures a structured approach by dividing actions into pre-disaster, during-disaster, and post-disaster phases . Example Connection: Imagine a coastal city prone to cyclones: Risk Analysis identifies low-lying areas and weak infrastructure. Risk Reduction includes building seawalls, enforcing strict building codes, and training residents for emergency situations. The Disaster Management Cycle ensures ongoing preparedness, immediate response during a cyclone, and long-term recovery afterw...

Logical Data Model in GIS

In GIS, a logical data model defines how data is structured and interrelated—independent of how it is physically stored or implemented. It serves as a blueprint for designing databases, focusing on the organization of entities, their attributes, and relationships, without tying them to a specific database technology. Key Features Abstraction : The logical model operates at an abstract level, emphasizing the conceptual structure of data rather than the technical details of storage or implementation. Entity-Attribute Relationships : It identifies key entities (objects or concepts) and their attributes (properties), as well as the logical relationships between them. Business Rules : Business logic is embedded in the model to enforce rules, constraints, and conditions that ensure data consistency and accuracy. Technology Independence : The logical model is platform-agnostic—it is not tied to any specific database system or storage format. Visual Representat...

Approaches of Surface Water Management: Watershed-Based Approaches

Surface water management refers to the strategies used to regulate and optimize the availability, distribution, and quality of surface water resources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. One of the most effective strategies is the watershed-based approach , which considers the entire watershed or drainage basin as a unit for water resource management, ensuring sustainability and minimizing conflicts between upstream and downstream users. 1. Watershed-Based Approaches Watershed A watershed (or drainage basin) is a geographical area where all precipitation and surface runoff flow into a common outlet such as a river, lake, or ocean. Example : The Ganga River Basin is a watershed that drains into the Bay of Bengal. Hydrological Cycle and Watershed Management Watershed-based approaches work by managing the hydrological cycle , which involves precipitation, infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration, and groundwater recharge. Precipitation : Rainfall or snowfall within a...

Raster Data Structure

Raster Data Raster data is like a digital photo made up of small squares called cells or pixels . Each cell shows something about that spot — like how high it is (elevation), how hot it is (temperature), or what kind of land it is (forest, water, etc.). Think of it like a graph paper where each box is colored to show what's there. Key Points What's in the cell? Each cell stores information — for example, "water" or "forest." Where is the cell? The cell's location comes from its place in the grid (like row 3, column 5). We don't need to store its exact coordinates. How Do We Decide a Cell's Value? Sometimes, one cell covers more than one thing (like part forest and part water). To choose one value , we can: Center Point: Use whatever feature is in the middle. Most Area: Use the feature that takes up the most space in the cell. Most Important: Use the most important feature (like a road or well), even if it...

Disaster Management international framework

The international landscape for disaster management relies on frameworks that emphasize reducing risk, improving preparedness, and fostering resilience to protect lives, economies, and ecosystems from the impacts of natural and human-made hazards. Here's a more detailed examination of key international frameworks, with a focus on terminologies, facts, and concepts, as well as the role of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR): 1. Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 Adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, and endorsed by the UN General Assembly in 2015, the Sendai Framework represents a paradigm shift from disaster response to proactive disaster risk management. It applies across natural, technological, and biological hazards. Core Priorities: Understanding Disaster Risk: This includes awareness of disaster risk factors and strengthening risk assessments based on geographic, social, and econo...
