A:
The difficulty level of the UGC NET question paper may differ for different shifts or sessions. This is because the question paper is set by different experts for different shifts and they may vary in their interpretation of the syllabus and the difficulty level of the questions. However, the National Testing Agency NTA which conducts the UGC NET exam, takes steps to ensure that the overall difficulty level of the question paper is the same for all the shifts. This is done through a process of equating the scores of the candidates appearing in different shifts. Equating is a statistical process that is used to adjust the scores of the candidates taking into account the differences in the difficulty level of the question papers in different shifts. This ensures that the scores of the candidates are comparable and that no candidate is at a disadvantage due to the variation in the difficulty level of the question paper. In summary, while the difficulty level of the UGC NET question paper may differ for different shifts, the NTA takes steps to ensure that the overall difficulty level is the same.
