Dear Shariyan Ahmed;
Happy Eid!
Coming to your query. I believe you have already gone through the other three comments which adequately explained the matter. I would like to add a few lines explaining the differences between the two in very broad sense..
M.Phil is an (a) academic course
(b) under a specific university/Institution (
c) which confers the specific degree (M.Phil) to the successful students.
They are mostly
(d) semester bound and
(e) requires completion of a dissertation work as a part of the course curriculum..
NET is basically a competitive examination.
conducted by
(a) Specific University/Institute or
(b) UGC Or Conglomerate bodies like CSIR/ICMR etc.
After passing out NET you do not get any Degree but become eligible to
(C) pursue further Research as JRF or SRF ( for which you are entitled to get a fellowship) or
(d) get a job (as Lecturer or an Assist University Librarian or a College Librarian)
NET is rather irrespective of post-Masters qualifications.
You can appear at NET after doing M.Lib.Sc or M.Phil or even a Ph.D.
The underlying reason is uneven standards of Degrees from different academic institutions.
UGC-NET or CSIR-NET or ICMR-NET each compose their own question papers which are common for all candidates from various corners of the Country appearing for that particular competitive examination .
Incidentally, several thousand students appear for UGC-NET or CSIR-NET, but only a few hundreds qualify.
I hope I could explain your query in a broad way.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
