The above-mentioned UGC NET 2022 Expected Cut-offs have been determined based on previous-year cut-offs. Although several factors determine the cut-off for each category, it will differ slightly from the previous-year figure. Hence, candidates can use these expected numbers to determine their chances of getting into a fellowship programme. All they need to do is compare their calculated exam score with the expected figure corresponding to their selected subject/s.
