 Should I give NET or study for SET? Are you also confused about the same just like all the other NET aspirants? Hi friends, I am Arvita Karva and in this video I am going to quickly discuss the differences and similarities between SET and NET. SET stands for State Eligibility Test and NET stands for National Eligibility Test. Both these exams are given if you want to become an assistant professor. However, if you clear SET, you get to become a professor in any college or university of that particular state. But if you clear NET, you become a professor in any college or university across India. If you have already cleared NET, you don't have to sit for SET. You might ask then why should I sit for SET? If you are unable to clear UGC NET, then I would advise you to not get disheartened and rather sit for SET exam. Both of these exams have same exam pattern, same syllabus and question style. However, SET is quite easier than NET, about 30-40% easier than NET. Hope this was helpful, till then stay tuned to arvithakarva.com
