 Why in news

  • The growing use of the National Eligibility Test (NET) for PhD admissions has sparked significant discussions about its effectiveness and implications for academic research.

Use of National Eligibility Test (NET)

  • Traditionally, the NET qualifies candidates for Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) and assistant professorships, but its role is expanding to determine PhD admissions.

  • The test is based entirely on multiple-choice questions (MCQs), assessing primarily lower-order cognitive skills like memory and recall.

Limitations of the NET

  • The focus on MCQs fails to evaluate critical thinking, creativity, and analytical skills essential for doctoral research.

  • In fields like literature and social sciences, the emphasis on factual recall undermines the complexity of research required.


Impact on PhD Research

  • The reliance on NET scores disproportionately affects marginalized students who may lack access to coaching and resources.

  • A standardized testing approach risks creating scholars who excel at exams but lack the ability to produce original research.


Concerns Over Centralisation

  • Centralizing PhD admissions through the NET diminishes the ability of universities to select candidates based on their unique needs and criteria.

  • Homogenization of Standards: This approach could lead to a lack of diversity and innovation in research, as institutions lose the ability to tailor their admissions processes.

Way Forward

  • India should embrace a more flexible and comprehensive system for PhD admissions that values creativity, critical thinking, and diverse perspectives.

  • By nurturing a broader range of skills, India can prevent the brain drain to foreign institutions and enhance its global competitiveness in education and research.
