Hello Devinder,

I hope you are doing good.

According to the revised UGC Regulations 2018 , the minimum eligibility criteria for the assistant professor or equivalent posts in the UGC approved universities or colleges are as follows:

  1. The candidates should possess the SET/SLET, NET certificate and have a Masters degree.
  2. A minimum of 55% marks is required at the post-graduation level.
  3. The candidates shall have a master’s degree or its equivalent with aggregate 55% marks from recognized university or institutes for admission to the Ph.D. programs.
  4. A person whose M.Phil thesis has been evaluated and the viva voce is pending may be admitted to the Ph.D. program of the same Institution.

I hope this information will help you.

Good luck in the future!

Regards
