Hi Candidate,

Before proceeding to the Category Eligibility criteria, you should know about the examination eligibility first- For applying for the National Eligibility Test (NET), the candidates must have secured at least 55% marks (without rounding off) in Master's Degree.

The Category Certification eligibility is generally of 3 to 4 months only before the Examination Counselling, and so you need to update your Certificate within the proper Time Limit.

Hope that this answer helps you.
