The eligibility checker compares your answers with the rules in recent bulletins. Everything runs in your browser.

Steps

  1. Choose your goal: Assistant Professor, JRF, or both.
  2. Pick your degree status and enter your percentage exactly — do not round it.
  3. Choose your category and add your date of birth if you are checking JRF.
  4. Say whether your Paper 2 subject matches your degree.

Reading the result

"Likely eligible" means no rule we check failed. "Needs official verification" means some detail depends on the bulletin. The official bulletin always decides.
