candidates for only Assistant Professor or both Junior Research
Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor in Indian universities and
colleges. As per latest media reports, from 2018 onwards

However, it may be noted that only 6% of the candidates clearing UGC NET exam are declared eligible for the post of Assistant Professor. Also, the reservation policy for SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates is applied to this 6%.
