Those who come under the reserved category (SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PWD and Transgender) are required to score 35% in each paper (Paper I and II).

Take a quick look at the important factors that actually affect/ determine the UGC NET cut off.

  • Level of difficulty
  • Total number of candidates appearing in the exam
  • Availability of seats
  • Marking criteria
  • Ratio of candidates to seats
  • Reservation policies
