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

Eligibility: Applicant should hold a Master's Degree/equivalent in Humanities and Social Science (including languages), Computer Science and Applications, Electronic Science etc. with 55% marks (without rounding off) (50% marks for OBC NCL/SC/ST/PwD/Third gender category). Those who are pursuing their Master's degree or equivalent course or those who have appeared for their qualifying Master's degree (final year) examination and whose result is still awaited may also apply for this test. Such candidates must complete their Master's degree or equivalent examination within two years from the date of NET result with required percentage of marks, failing which they shall be treated as disqualified. However, those candidates who qualify for 'Admission to Ph.D. Only' must complete their Master's degree or equivalent examination within one year from the date of NET result with required percentage of marks, failing which they shall be treated as disqualified.

Those pursuing Four Year/8 Semester Bachelor's Degree Programme and are in their last semester/year may also apply for the test. However, such candidates shall be considered eligible for the award of JRF/admission to Ph.D. only after fulfilling the requirements contained in the related UGC regulations. They should have a minimum of 75% marks in aggregate or its equivalent grade (70% for SC/ST/OBC (NCL)/Differently-Abled, Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and other categories of candidates as per the decision of UGC). Those qualifying in the NET, based on a four-year undergraduate degree, will be eligible for the award of the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and for admission to the Ph.D. They will not be eligible for appointment as Assistant Professor.

Conditions related to the age of applicant, details of relaxations, exemptions in conditions etc; are given in the Information Brochure.

Application: Online Application can be submitted up to 11.50 pm on 10th May 2024 at https://ugcnet.nta.ac.in/.

Application Fee is Rs. 1150/-. For General-EWS/OBC-NCL it is Rs. 600/- and for SC/ST/PwD/Third Gender, Rs. 325/-. This can be paid through Credit Card/ Debit Card/Net Banking /UPI up to 11.50 pm on 12th May 2024. Correction in the Particulars in Online Application Form can be done online during 13th May 2024 to 11.50 pm on 15th May 2024.

Photogrammetry – Types of Photographs

In photogrammetry, aerial photographs are categorized based on camera orientation , coverage , and spectral sensitivity . Below is a breakdown of the major types: 1️⃣ Based on Camera Axis Orientation Type Description Key Feature Vertical Photo Taken with the camera axis pointing directly downward (within 3° of vertical). Used for maps and measurements Oblique Photo Taken with the camera axis tilted away from vertical. Covers more area but with distortions Low Oblique: Horizon not visible High Oblique: Horizon visible 2️⃣ Based on Number of Photos Taken Type Description Single Photo One image taken of an area Stereoscopic Pair Two overlapping photos for 3D viewing and depth analysis Strip or Mosaic Series of overlapping photos covering a long area, useful in mapping large regions 3️⃣ Based on Spectral Sensitivity Type Description Application Panchromatic Captures images in black and white General mapping Infrared (IR) Sensitive to infrared radiation Veget...

Photogrammetry – Geometry of a Vertical Photograph

Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs, especially for mapping and surveying. When the camera axis is perpendicular (vertical) to the ground, the photo is called a vertical photograph , and its geometry is central to accurate mapping.  Elements of Vertical Photo Geometry In a vertical aerial photograph , the geometry is governed by the central projection principle. Here's how it works: 1. Principal Point (P) The point on the photo where the optical axis of the camera intersects the photo plane. It's the geometric center of the photo. 2. Nadir Point (N) The point on the ground directly below the camera at the time of exposure. Ideally, in a perfect vertical photo, the nadir and principal point coincide. 3. Photo Center (C) Usually coincides with the principal point in a vertical photo. 4. Ground Coordinates (X, Y, Z) Real-world (map) coordinates of objects photographed. 5. Flying Height (H) He...

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...

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the science of taking measurements from photographs —especially to create maps, models, or 3D images of objects, land, or buildings. Imagine you take two pictures of a mountain from slightly different angles. Photogrammetry uses those photos to figure out the shape, size, and position of the mountain—just like our eyes do when we see in 3D! Concepts and Terminologies 1. Photograph A picture captured by a camera , either from the ground (terrestrial) or from above (aerial or drone). 2. Stereo Pair Two overlapping photos taken from different angles. When seen together, they help create a 3D effect —just like how two human eyes work. 3. Overlap To get a 3D model, photos must overlap each other: Forward overlap : Between two photos in a flight line (usually 60–70%) Side overlap : Between adjacent flight lines (usually 30–40%) 4. Scale The ratio of the photo size to real-world size. Example: A 1:10,000 scale photo means 1 cm on the photo...

Flight Planning Mission

1. Define the Purpose Decide why you're doing the mission: Mapping land use? Creating a 3D model? Surveying a building or farmland? 2. Choose the Area of Interest (AOI) Mark the exact area you want to cover on a map: Set boundaries (length & width) Use coordinates (lat/long) 3. Select the Camera and Drone Pick the right tools: Camera type (sensor size, resolution) Drone (range, stability, battery life) 4. Set Flight Parameters Plan how the drone should fly: Altitude (height) – affects image size and detail Overlap : Forward overlap (between photos in the same line) – usually 60-80% Side overlap (between photo rows) – usually 30-60% Speed – slow enough for clear photos 5. Calculate Flight Lines Create the path the drone will fly : Straight lines to cover the whole area Make sure the overlap is correct Consider wind and obstacles 6. Plan Ground Control Points (GCPs) Mark known ground...
