Hello,

As per the eligibility criteria for UGC NET , candidates need to pass master's degree in the relevant discipline from a recognized university securing 55% in case of general/general-ews category, 50% aggregate is only applicable for OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwD/Third Gender, the required aggregate in all the cases should come without rounding off, candidates who are pursuing or are in final year too are eligible to apply provisionally provided they can complete the degree within two years of qualifying UGC NET JRF/Assistant Professor with the required aggregate obviously.

hence with EWS Category, and securing 53% won't make you eligible for UGC NET, if you're interested to appear for this you will have to redo your postgrauate degree.

I would request you to check out the information brochure of UGC NET at https://ugcnet.nta.nic.in/webinfo/File/GetFile?FileId=56&LangId=P, refer page no 6 to know the complete details regarding this.
