Tharoor questions low fellowship rate for UGC NET qualifiers; Centre sidesteps query | Education News

3 min readNew DelhiJul 21, 2026 01:44 PM IST Thousands of students crack the UGC-NET every year hoping to land a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and effectively fund their PhD, but only a sliver of them actually get one. In the June session last year, 5,269 candidates qualified for JRF out of 7,51,907 who appeared; in December the same year, just 5,108 qualified for JRF out of 7,35,614 who appeared. That question landed in the Lok Sabha this week, and the government’s answer left much to be desired. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor raised the issue during the ongoing Monsoon Session, addressing it to the Ministry of Education. His questions were direct and data-driven. What he asked was a year-wise breakup, over the last five years, of how many candidates qualified the UGC-National Eligibility Test (NET), how many Junior Research Fellowships (JRFs) were actually awarded, and what proportion of qualified candidates got a fellowship. He also asked whether the government had noticed a growing gap between the number of students clearing NET and the number who …

Now, the univister is mulling renaming the programme, The Indian Express has learnt. The Department of Operational Research, said sources, has formally proposed that the “Existing Nomenclature: Master of Operational Research” be revised to “MSc (Operational Research)” under the Faculty of Mathematical Science, a title already recognised by the UGC. The issue is particularly striking given the legacy of the programme, which was launched in 1963. At the time, the students — following completion of the programme — were given an MSc degree. However, after 2019, the current title was adopted even as it was not in the approved degrees’ list as notified by the UGC vide Gazette Notification of 2014. The transition happened with the adoption of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), under which the programme was revised …
