Criteria for Awarding Junior Research Fellowships

Out of the 43957 candidates qualified for Lectureship eligibility (including
JRF), 29780 candidates had applied for JRF, while the slots available for
JRF are 3200. These 3200 fellowships have to be distributed among the
29780 candidates who come under the consideration zone for JRF. In
order to restrict the number of JRF awardees to around 3200, a
methodology has been evolved for allocation of JRF slots among different
subjects category-wise.
i)

The Commission provides fellowships to 3200 candidates for

each UGC-NET, as per the financial resources available under
the budgetary head.

ii)

A minimum of 27%, 22.5% and 3% of Fellowships are reserved

for the OBC, SC/ST and Persons with disabilities (PWD)
respectively. Accordingly, the category-wise slots available are
as follows:

27.00%
22.50%

iii)

The calculation is based on the ratio of number of candidates

who had opted for JRF and were qualified for lectureship
eligibility in each subject category-wise to the total number of
candidates qualified for lectureship who had opted for JRF in that
category over all subjects multiplied by the total number of
fellowships to be awarded to that category. The nearest whole
number obtained as per this formula provides the number of slots
available in any particular subject category-wise.

iv)

By this method, if the number of JRF awardees obtained is less

than one, it is taken as one, i.e., a minimum of one JRF is
awarded wherever a fraction less than one is obtained as per the
calculation. However, for fractions greater than one, the figure is
rounded off to the nearest whole number.

v)

The percentage of all the three papers corresponding to the

number of JRF awardees derived as per the previous paragraph,
is taken as the cut-off percentage for awarding JRF for a
particular subject category-wise.

The final category-wise cut-offs for different subjects have been presented
in the following Table:
