 A lot of students messaged me asking the difference between GRF and NET and the difference in the cut-off of these two. So friends, first of all I want to clear your confusion that GRF and NET are not two separate exams. It's a part of the same exam which is NTA UGC NET. The only difference in NET and GRF is the qualifying marks. Top scorers in UGC NET exam get GRF or Junior Research Fellowship whereas other passing candidates get NET certificate. So suppose for a subject, UGC NET cut-off is 60%. Then GRF cut-off will be 65-70% each. The difference between GRF and NET cut-off is on an average 7-10%. Different subjects have different cut-offs for both NET and GRF. 6% candidates are able to clear UGC NET every year. And out of this 6%, another list is prepared of 6% who clear GRF. So now I hope you are able to understand what is the difference between NET and GRF.
