"Ever since the introduction of NET examination for agricultural scientists by ICAR, this University has been in correspondence with other Agricultural Universities in the country, as to know whether a pass in the NET examination has been made compulsory. Accordingly, the information from some of the other State Agricultural Universities has been received. Out of the 4 Universities, who have responded it is observed that two of them (viz) Rajendra Agricultural University Bihar and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana have indicated that a pass in the NET examination has not yet been made compulsory. But the Punjab Agricultural University has communicated that 'the matter is under consideration'. The ICAR in its letter dated 29.8.1996 (copy enclosed) has indicated that the Vice-Chancellors conference held on 1st and 2nd March, 1996 has decided that all appointments at the level of Assistant Professors after 1st July, 1996, would be made out of the candidates qualified in NET examination. In the same letter, the Council invited suggestions from the Universities for consideration of the committee appointed by them for this purpose. It is evident from the foregoing orders, making the 'pass in the NET examination mandatory', have yet to be communicated by the ICAR to the Agricultural Universities."
