Step 1: The total number of eligible candidates in the exam must equal 6% of the total number of candidates who took both papers.
Step 2: The total number of slots allotted to candidates from various groups under the Government of India’s reservation policy.
Step 3: The minimum marks that candidates must achieve in order to be eligible for a JRF award and/or Assistant Professor eligibility are mentioned in the table below:

**UGC NET Minimum Marks Required**
Category	Minimum Marks (%) to be Scored
Category	Paper I	Paper-II
General	40% Marks in both the papers taken together
OBC / SC/ ST	35% Marks in both the papers taken together

Step 4: The qualifying factor for candidates who pass the UGC NET will be dependent on their subject category. The qualifying UGC NET Cut Off Marks for Assistant Professor in any subject for each position will be determined by the candidate’s overall percentage in both papers corresponding to the number of slots.
