The University Grants Commission (UGC) conducts the National
Eligibility Test (NET) for award of lectureship eligibility and Junior Research
Fellowship (JRF) where lakhs of candidates appear every time. I had appeared
for the UGC NET in June 2012. The examination was objective type and the OMR
response sheets were attached with carbon copies that candidates were allowed
to take with them after the test for their reference. UGC NET June 2012 result
was notified in September 2012 and my roll number didn’t appear in the list of
successful candidates. However, when I tallied my responses from the carbon
copy of the OMR sheets with the updated answer keys provided on the UGC NET
website, I discovered that although my score was more than the qualifying
criteria, I was not declared qualified. Immediately, I brought this to the
notice of concerned officials at the UGC and I was advised to check my marks on
the website after some days. Once candidates’ marks were updated on the
website, I checked it again and found that my marks were underreported and it
was below the qualifying marks.
