Hello everyone, I am planning to apply for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and would like to understand the eligibility criteria in detail. I know that JRF is awarded to candidates who qualify for UGC-NET, CSIR-NET, or other equivalent exams, but I am unsure about the minimum educational qualifications required. Do I need to have a master’s degree in a specific field, or are there any exceptions for final-year students? Also, is there a minimum percentage or CGPA requirement for application?
Additionally, I would appreciate insights into age limits and any relaxations available for reserved categories. Are there specific disciplines that JRF applies to, or can students from all academic backgrounds apply? If someone has already been selected for JRF, please share details on the selection process, stipend, and research opportunities. Any official guidelines or links to the latest eligibility criteria for JRF 2025 would be really helpful. Looking forward to your response, thanks in advance!
