UGC NET Psychology: August 2024 (RE-NET) Cutoff Analysis

Now that the 2024 UGC NET for Psychology is over, all applicants are holding their breath in waiting for the result declaration. To help aspirants get an idea about their performance, education leading platform JRF Adda today has figured out the expected cut-off on the difficulty level of this exam and the response of the aspirants. Let's see what they have projected and what it exactly means for test-takers.

Expected Cut-Off Ranges:

As mentioned in JRF Adda's UGC NET Exam Analysis, here are the cutoff ranges that are predicted for August 2024 for UGC NET Psychology:

Important Observations

Highest General Category Competition: The NET as well as JRF Cutoff Range continues to be the highest as this category marks severe competition across (182-192 and 208-218, respectively).

Heavy Stress on OBC Category: The cut off range for NET under OBC Category is highly constrained and only at 168-172. That clearly shows this category has performed well consistently.

Parity in NET: SC/ST. Surprisingly, the cut for SC and ST categories is identical to that of NET: 153-158, though that for JRF would be pretty close.

Greater JRF Cut: In case compared with all the other type, the cut for JRF comes to be more than NET. This infers an extra piece of margin of difficulty involved to get a Junior Research Fellowship.

What it means for candidates

• General Category Pressure: The pressure to the candidate coming under the General category will be almost considerably reduced with above 190 on NET or above 215 on JRF since they are most likely to exceed the cutoff.

• EWS and OBC Neck to Neck: Cut-off competition may even turn cut-throat in the case of candidates who have fallen under the EWS and the OBC category due to relatively narrower ranges. All it takes is a set of scores at the highest end of those ranges to make all the difference.

• Sc/St Candidates have Reason to Expect: Despite these being much lower ranges, one should not totally discount competition as scores near the top of the range are bound to assist qualification chances in good measure.

• JRF Aspirants: All broad gaps are there in categories for NET and JRF cut-off's, that means qualification of Junior Research Fellowship has much better cut-off level.

What's Next

All these cutoff ranges are projections only. They can actually vary with the general performance of applicants and the number of scopes available. For those who anxiously wait results, never forget that

• Hold up positive and serene.

• Do not overthink and do not compare the score with people

• Prepare for interviews or take other academic streams

These cut offs will, therefore, be a benchmark for future aspirants to prepare for these exams. Emphasis needs to be laid on holistic subject knowledge and updation with current affairs in Psychology, and finally proper time management to aspire towards the higher ends of these ranges.

Conclusion

The UGC NET Psychology examination finally ended in August 2024 and marked a long journey to an end for many aspiring academics and researchers. As much as the results would have to wait, these expected cut-offs give good sense to the candidate as far as his or her performance is concerned.
