Each post accepts a Master’s degree with at least 55% marks (or an equivalent grade) in a concerned, relevant or allied subject. A foreign degree is fine if it is equivalent and from an accredited university. Reserved-category candidates get a 5% relaxation under Statute SB-15.3.4.

NET, SET or PhD: Route A
On top of the Master’s degree, you must have cleared NET (UGC or CSIR) or SET (or a similar UGC-accredited test). The other way in is a PhD awarded under the UGC Regulations, 2009 or 2016 (and their amendments). A PhD from a National Institute of Importance is also exempt from NET/SET. NET/SET is also not needed for Master’s programmes in subjects where UGC, CSIR or a similar test is not conducted.
Candidates registered for a PhD before 11 July 2009 are governed by the rules of the institution that awarded the degree. They are exempt from NET/SET only if every condition below is met:
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Mode | The PhD was awarded in regular mode |
| Thesis | Evaluated by at least two external examiners |
| Viva | An open PhD viva voce was held |
| Papers | Two research papers from the PhD work, at least one in a refereed journal |
| Conferences | At least two papers presented in conferences or seminars sponsored by UGC, ICSSR, CSIR or a similar agency |
The Registrar or the Dean (Academic Affairs) of that university must certify that these conditions are fulfilled. Publications in peer-reviewed or UGC-listed journals are desirable.
PhD from a Top Foreign University: Route B
You can also qualify with a PhD from a foreign university ranked among the top 500 (at any time) by any one of QS, Times Higher Education or ARWU (Shanghai).
Mandatory Conditions for Everyone
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Residence | Minimum 15 years of residence in Goa |
| Language | Knowledge of Konkani |
| Desirable | Knowledge of Marathi |
Only candidates with the prescribed qualification who meet these essential conditions will be allowed to appear for the interview. There is one exception clause: if candidates with NET/SET/PhD are not available, candidates without them will be allowed to attend and may be considered if found suitable, but for a shorter duration.
