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.

Linear Arrays Along-Track Scanners or Pushbroom Scanners

Multispectral Imaging Using Linear Arrays (Along-Track Scanners or Pushbroom Scanners) Multispectral Imaging: As previously defined, this involves capturing images using multiple sensors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Linear Array of Detectors (A): This refers to a row of discrete detectors arranged in a straight line. Each detector is responsible for measuring the radiation within a specific wavelength band. Focal Plane (B): This is the plane where the image is formed by the lens system. It is the location where the detectors are placed to capture the focused image. Formed by Lens Systems (C): The lens system is responsible for collecting and focusing the incoming radiation onto the focal plane. It acts like a camera lens, creating a sharp image of the scene. Ground Resolution Cell (D): As previously defined, this is the smallest area on the ground that can be resolved by a remote sensing sensor. In the case of linear array scanne...

Discrete Detectors and Scanning mirrors Across the track scanner Whisk broom scanner.

Multispectral Imaging Using Discrete Detectors and Scanning Mirrors (Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner) Multispectral Imaging:  This technique involves capturing images of the Earth's surface using multiple sensors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.  This allows for the identification of various features and materials based on their spectral signatures. Discrete Detectors:  These are individual sensors that are arranged in a linear or array configuration.  Each detector is responsible for measuring the radiation within a specific wavelength band. Scanning Mirrors:  These are optical components that are used to deflect the incoming radiation onto the discrete detectors.  By moving the mirrors,  the sensor can scan across the scene,  capturing data from different points. Across-Track Scanner or Whisk Broom Scanner:  This refers to the scanning mechanism where the mirror moves perpendicular to the direction of flight.  This allows for t...

Natural Disasters

A natural disaster is a catastrophic event caused by natural processes of the Earth that results in significant loss of life, property, and environmental resources. It occurs when a hazard (potentially damaging physical event) interacts with a vulnerable population and leads to disruption of normal life . Key terms: Hazard → A potential natural event (e.g., cyclone, earthquake). Disaster → When the hazard causes widespread damage due to vulnerability. Risk → Probability of harmful consequences from interaction of hazard and vulnerability. Vulnerability → Degree to which a community or system is exposed and unable to cope with the hazard. Resilience → Ability of a system or society to recover from the disaster impact. 👉 Example: An earthquake in an uninhabited desert is a hazard , but not a disaster unless people or infrastructure are affected. Types Natural disasters can be classified into geophysical, hydrological, meteorological, clim...

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...
