Candidates have been also demanding fellowship to continue their studies.

I gave NET in Social Work (general category) and could not qualify JRF for 1 question. I'm doing PhD from Delhi and I'm from Kolkata. It is very difficult for me to continue PhD without fellowship
Please give us 2% JRF @PMOIndia @ugc_india @DG_NTA #UGCNET #Revise_NTANET_Results

A student wrote on Twitter, “Indian education system is degrading day by day. No accountability no transparency. Students need to protest for their basic rights. UGC after claiming that it will give 2% seats of JRF in this merged cycle gave 1% result in many subjects.”
