There are several factors that affect the making of a merit list after qualifying for NET. It is important to understand that a 40% mark will not guarantee you anything until you are on the list of merit. The following factors have an impact on the June session's UGC NECT Cut-off 2025 merit list:
Exam Difficulty Level: The cut off marks may be lower for easier exams. The cut off may be greater if the exam is difficult.
Number of Students: The cut off is influenced by the overall number of students taking the exam. Higher cut offs may result from a more competitive atmosphere brought on by more applications.
Reservation Policies: The UGC has different reservation policies for SC, ST, OBC, and PwD, among other categories. Students from these groups may receive lower qualifying marks than those in the general category as a result of these policies.
Students will be eligible to take the exam if their marks are at least as high as the qualifying marks. These grades do not ensure admission to a Ph.D. program or a JRF fellowship. Students must receive the required minimum marks to take the UGC NET Computer Science exam in 2025. The following are the minimum qualifying marks for computer science on the UGC NET 2025:
UGC NET Computer Science Qualifying Marks | |
Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
General | 40% |
SC/ST/OBC/PWD | 35% |
