AU gets over 9100 UGC-NET applications this year
ALLAHABAD: From nearly 4223 applicants who appeared for the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) in December 2006, authorities of Allahabad University have received over 9106 applicants for UGC-NET June 2010 examinations.
The varsity authorities received more than 9106 applications after introducing the facility of applying online also for the examination. The last date of submitting forms was April 30. The exam would be held on June 27 for Junior Research Fellowship and Eligibility for Lectureship.
Prof Jata Shankar, coordinator for UGC-NET (June)-2010 said the varsity had received 8344 applications for the UGC NET (December)-2009 the last time around. “This time we have got 9106 hardcopies of the applications deposited with us which is 764 more than the last exam,” he added.
Shankar said while the high numbers testify to the embracing of the online application mode by the students in its maiden attempt by UGC itself, the large number of applicants also show that government’s efforts of starting financial aid to research scholars and increasing the number of fellowships along with the hiked salaries following implementation of the sixth pay commissions recommendations were all having the right effect.
The increase in the number of applicants becomes more clear if we take into consideration the fact that for the UGC NET (June)-2009 AU had received just around 6700 applications, around 2400 less than this time, he added. This also means that more centres would have to be set up for conducting the exam this time. We will be sending subject-wise break-up of all applicants to the UGC as required within the next 10 days, he said.
