Is it necessary to study 2 graduations and 2 post graduations to apply for NET exam?

Want to know about the eligibility criteria with regard to qualification to appear for NET? Check this page to get the doubt clarified.

I completed bcom and after that doing ma English and ma public administration simultaneously through distance mode. I wanted to apply for NET in both of them (English and pa). That's reason I am doing both pgs. But someone told me that there must be matching in graduation and post graduation and I need to study B.A in English and politics to apply for NET exam. My graduation subjects and post graduation subjects are completely different. That means I couldn't apply in both of them. I think I am wasting my years. What should I do?

As far as the NET is considered you can appear for the subject in which you have post graduation degree. There is no mention that you should do Graduation also on the subject. The eligibility talks about only post-graduation. You should get minimum 55% marks in the qualifying examination. If you did double post graduation you can apply for both the courses. But they have a given a list of subjects for whom this examination is conducted. If your post-graduation subjects are on that list you can go ahead.

So far as National Eligibility Test (NET) is concerned, the eligibility condition is Masters degree with 55% marks for General Category candidates. If you want to appear in NET in two subjects, Post Graduation degrees in those two subjects in which you are planning to appear in NET are required. There is no requirement of Graduation in two subjects.
If you have requisite marks in Post-Graduation in two subjects, you can appear in NET in those two subjects.

The eligibility for NET exam is a Masters degree. For general candidates 55% marks in Masters degree is the requirement while for SC/ST candidates it is 50%. Those who have completed their PhD can also apply for NET even if they are having only 50% or more in their Masters degree.

Generally people do Masters in one of those subjects in which they are good in graduation. Still if one pursues a different subject in Masters degree program there is no problem as far as applying in NET is concerned.

When applying for NET exam, Candidates need to choose their post-graduation subject from the list of subjects provided. Even if the subject is not in the list, candidates can appear in the related subject. In your case, both english and public administration is eligible irrespective of the subject in bachelor's degree. You cannot apply for both the subjects, opt the subject in which you have more knowledge and confidence. Apart from this, candidates should have secured 55% marks from the university approved by UGC. As you said you are pursuing the PG course, you can apply for the exam but you will be eligible for Assistant professor or Junior research fellowship on the completion of PG and if you have secured 55% marks and the NET marks will be valid for 2 years.

You can apply for NET if you have a master's degree or equivalent from a university recognized by UGC in each of the subject of your choice. Candidates who have appeared or who are in final year will be appearing for master's exam can also appear. If you do not have the degree in hand, you will be considered as provisional and should complete the degree exam within two years of the date of NET exam with the 55% marks. In case you fail, then the NET will be disqualified. So, you don't need a BA now.

Both the subjects that you have mentioned are listed in the NET subject list.
No: 14 Public Administration
No: 30 English

While applying for NET, you should consider a particular stream in which you have made up your mind to appear for the NET examination. It should be either English or Public - administration and be clear that you would not be allowed to appear in both the papers for your ensuing NET examination.
The subjects chosen in the graduating level should not necessarily be persued in the post graduation stage and hence your streams would not create any impediments. You must note down the eligibility criteria for the eligibility of NET test.
For the general category, one must secure 55 percent marks where as for SC/ST/ OBC, it has been fixed 50 percent marks obtained in Post - graduation. An aspirant having secured a doctorate degree is exempted from such securing of marks for the post of Lecturership. However, for the post of Junior Research Fellowshp, maximum age of eligibility is 28 years.

Is it necessary to study 2 graduations and 2 post graduations to apply for NET exam?
