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.

Seismicity and Earthquakes, Isostasy and Gravity

1. Seismicity and Earthquakes in the Indian Subcontinent Key Concept: Seismicity Definition : The occurrence, frequency, and magnitude of earthquakes in a region. In India, seismicity is high due to active tectonic processes . Plate Tectonics 🌏 Indian Plate : Moves northward at about 5 cm/year. Collision with Eurasian Plate : Causes intense crustal deformation , mountain building (Himalayas), and earthquakes. This is an example of a continental-continental collision zone . Seismic Zones of India Classified into Zone II, III, IV, V (Bureau of Indian Standards, BIS). Zone V = highest hazard (e.g., Himalayas, Northeast India). Zone II = lowest hazard (e.g., parts of peninsular India). Earthquake Hazards ⚠️ Himalayas: prone to large shallow-focus earthquakes due to active thrust faulting. Northeast India: complex subduction and strike-slip faults . Examples: 1897 Shillong Earthquake (Magnitude ~8.1) 1950 Assam–Tib...

geostationary and sun-synchronous

Orbital characteristics of Remote sensing satellite geostationary and sun-synchronous  Orbits in Remote Sensing Orbit = the path a satellite follows around the Earth. The orbit determines what part of Earth the satellite can see , how often it revisits , and what applications it is good for . Remote sensing satellites mainly use two standard orbits : Geostationary Orbit (GEO) Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO)  Geostationary Satellites (GEO) Characteristics Altitude : ~35,786 km above the equator. Period : 24 hours → same as Earth's rotation. Orbit type : Circular, directly above the equator . Appears "stationary" over one fixed point on Earth. Concepts & Terminologies Geosynchronous = orbit period matches Earth's rotation (24h). Geostationary = special type of geosynchronous orbit directly above equator → looks fixed. Continuous coverage : Can monitor the same area all the time. Applications Weather...

Network data model

GIS, a network data model is used to represent and study things that are connected like a web — for example, roads, rivers, railway tracks, water pipes, or electric lines . It focuses on how things are connected and helps us solve problems like finding the best route, the nearest hospital, or where water will flow. Nodes → Points where things meet or end (e.g., road intersections, railway stations, pumping stations). Edges → Lines connecting the nodes (e.g., roads, pipelines, cables). Topology → The "rules" of connection — which node is linked to which edge. Attributes → Extra details about each part (e.g., road speed limit, pipe size, traffic volume). How It Works 🔍 Make the Network Model Start with a map of lines (roads, pipes, rivers) and mark how they connect. Run Analyses Routing → Find the shortest or fastest path. Closest Facility → Find the nearest hospital, petrol station, etc. Service Area → Find how far y...

Pre During and Post Disaster

Disaster management is a structured approach aimed at reducing risks, responding effectively, and ensuring a swift recovery from disasters. It consists of three main phases: Pre-Disaster (Mitigation & Preparedness), During Disaster (Response), and Post-Disaster (Recovery). These phases involve various strategies, policies, and actions to protect lives, property, and the environment. Below is a breakdown of each phase with key concepts, terminologies, and examples. 1. Pre-Disaster Phase (Mitigation and Preparedness) Mitigation: This phase focuses on reducing the severity of a disaster by minimizing risks and vulnerabilities. It involves structural and non-structural measures. Hazard Identification: Recognizing potential natural and human-made hazards (e.g., earthquakes, floods, industrial accidents). Risk Assessment: Evaluating the probability and consequences of disasters using GIS, remote sensing, and historical data. Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying areas and p...
