How does NTA calculate the number of Qualified Candidates?
In addition to the UGC NET Result release process discussed above, the aspirants should have a basic idea of calculation process through which NTA declares the number of qualified candidates. Actually, the number of candidates to be declared qualified in any subject for a particular category is derived as per the methodology illustrated below –
| Example | Calculation Process of number of Qualified candidates |
| Number of candidates to be declared qualified for Eligibility for Assistant Professor in the subject ‘Economics’ for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category | Number of candidates belonging to SC category who secure at least 35% aggregate marks in both the papers taken together in ‘Economics’ (x) Total slots derived for SC category as per Govt guidelines (÷) Total number of candidates belonging to SC category over all subjects who secure at least 35% aggregate marks in both the papers taken together. |
The aggregate percentage of the two papers corresponding to the number of slots arrived at, shall determine the qualifying cut-off for Eligibility for Assistant Professor ‘in ‘Economics’ for the SC category. Similarly, the NTA shall calculate the subject-wise qualifying cut- offs for all categories. Candidates may kindly note that the score of multiple shifts is normalized as per the NTA guidelines prior to the above calculation process.
