Recently, the UGC has decided that NET schools will be applicable on all the universities around the country for getting admission in PhD programmes. Now students will not have to give multiple entrance exams to get admission into PhD programmes . Generally top scorers of the UGC NET did not have to appear for the entrance exam of any university as they were eligible for junior research fellowship. However, other students had to give multiple exams to qualify for the junior research Fellowship of various universities. This decision implemented by UGC is meant to save time and money for students. However, many students and teachers are complaining that such a decision will strip universities around the world from their right to exercise cultural diversity.
