Sir ,
What is RET (exempted)?
And what is the procedure of applying the same ?
Hey Isha, The procedure for applying for RET (Exempted) is also the same as the procedure for applying for any PhD course, However you and Aditya will be sad to know that from this session onwards there will be no PhD admission conducted in any institute at all,
If I have qualified NET JRF, is it compulsory to exempt RET and is there any applying date for the March 2020 ?
hello sir RET qualify karne ke bad net bhi qualify karna compulsory hai kya
Jo NET qualified hai kya usko bhi RET dena Hoga?
of course not
