This shall be reflected in final result. So, better wait till then.
i think this week last
For the first time, examinees are puzzled over the publication of UGC NET June 2012 results and it is quite surprising that they should be, since for the first time UGC has published the answer keys, kept a feedback response system to increase transparency and accountability. Not only does it give scope for self-evaluation to the candidates but also raises hopes in their mind.
ü Will UGC be so ruthless to raise the cut-off criteria for qualifying lectureship after having published the same at the time of advertisement?
ü Then what is the need for mentioning the cut-off criteria at all, if it plans to toy with it?
The only logic many are giving is that since many have secured the basic cut-off, UGC will raise the cut-off marks.
ü If this is so, then will UGC penalize the candidates for passing?
Although there is a disclaimer that UGC will finally consider the qualifying criteria before the final publication of results for both JRF and Lectureship, a look at the past results will show that UGC has never changed the published cut-off criteria for lectureship only, after the exam. It has thought over the cut-off criteria for JRF and probably that is the reason why UGC never publishes the cut-off criteria for JRF before the exam. JRF number is more or less constant because it depends on funds but lectureship is not so.
Moreover qualifying NET doesn’t always assure a job in the college because the candidates qualifying NET have to pass through another stage – interview- where many do not fair well. Therefore UGC has nothing to gain in lessening the number of candidates qualifying for lectureship only. Therefore it can be hoped that UGC will not behave too discretionarily this time. If it has to make any modifications, that should be next time, like introducing negative marking or raising the cut off criteria.
Another important thing to note is this time UGC had already increased the cut-off criteria by 5 % for Paper 3 before the exam.
Moreover, while introducing MCQ, UGC must have had the farsightedness that more can pass.
Thank You Sir for your sensational information.

I think this is the most logical answer given by you dear Satheesh. If UGC goes for cut-off-marks for Lectureship, it has to face the ire of so many candidates desperate to clear it. However to overcome it, UGC can introduce new things in the next exam and that too with timely announcements and not at the very last moments like this time.
