The National Eligibility Test (NET) is a standardised test conducted at the national level by various agencies of the Government of India. It assesses candidates' eligibility for research fellowships, specifically the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Senior Research Fellowship (SRF), enabling them to pursue doctoral programmes and contribute to research endeavors within public research institutes across the country.[1][2] Additionally, many colleges and universities use the NET as a criterion for appointing assistant professors, with a lower cut-off mark than that required for the JRF.[3]
