UGC NET Social Work: Frequently Asked Questions
What is UGC NET Social Work and what is its Subject Code?
The UGC NET (National Eligibility Test) in Social Work is a national-level examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). It determines the eligibility of Indian candidates for the roles of 'Assistant Professor' and 'Junior Research Fellowship (JRF)' in Indian universities and colleges. The official Subject Code for Social Work is 10.
What is the Eligibility Criteria for UGC NET Social Work?
Candidates must have secured at least 55% marks (without rounding off) in their Master's Degree (like MSW) from UGC-recognized universities. A relaxation of 5% is applicable for reserved categories (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD, and Third Gender). Candidates appearing for their final year Master's exams are also eligible to apply provisionally.
What is the Exam Pattern and Cycle?
The exam is conducted twice a year, typically in June and December (bi-annual exam cycle). It is a Computer Based Test (CBT) consisting of two papers without any break:
• Paper 1: Teaching and Research Aptitude (50 MCQs, 100 Marks)
• Paper 2: Social Work Subject Specific (100 MCQs, 200 Marks)
Both papers consist of objective-type multiple-choice questions with no negative marking for incorrect answers.
What is the Application Fee for the Examination?
While fees are subject to revision by the NTA, the general application fee is around ₹1,150 for Unreserved/General categories, ₹600 for General-EWS/OBC-NCL, and ₹325 for SC/ST/PwD and Third Gender candidates. Always refer to the latest NTA notification for exact amounts.
What are the Career Opportunities after qualifying?
Qualifying the UGC NET opens multiple avenues. Assistant Professor qualifiers can apply for teaching posts in higher education institutions across India. JRF qualifiers receive a monthly stipend (fellowship) to pursue a Ph.D. Additionally, many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) use UGC NET scores for recruiting executives in HR, CSR, and Welfare departments.
