The Paper 1 exam has to be taken by everyone who is appearing for the UGC NET exam. They have to sit for the Paper 1 and 2 exam one after another. And in each paper, candidates must secure the cutoff that will be mentioned with the result depending on the performance of all candidates. The cutoff for NET is lower than the JRF, so if aspirants have fallen short of the JRF scholarship, they can still get into a lectureship post if they clear the NET cutoff.
