Regular, private, distance all three modes are valid if the university is approved by UGC. Check out the detailed eligibility below:
Candidates who have secured at least 55% marks in their Master's degree exams (in streams such as humanities, social science, electronic science, computer science & applications, etc.). From a UGC recognised college/ university, fulfill UGC NET 2018 eligibility criteria. It may be noted that a minimum percentage required to meet UGC NET eligibility criteria for candidates belonging to SC/ ST/ OBC/ PWD categories is 50%. Candidates who are appearing or awaiting results for their final year examination of Master's degree are also eligible to appear for UGC NET 2018. However, such candidates will be admitted provisionally and will be considered for JRF and Assistant Professor or Assistant Professor only when they pass their Masters exams with a required percentage. Such candidates must complete their PG degree examination within 2-years from the date of NET result with required percentage of marks, failing which they shall be treated as disqualified, informs the official website.
Note for Ph.D degree holders: Ph.D degree holders whose Masters exams completed on September 19, 1991 (regardless of the result declaration date) will be eligible for a relaxation of 5% marks in the aggregate. This means that the minimum percentage required to meet UGC NET 2018 eligibility criteria for such candidates will be 50% instead of 55%.

Integrated courses have both advantages and disadvantages.
1) Integrated courses such as B.E+ MBA (5 years), B.Tech + M.Tech (5 years) are considered advantageous over regular B.E+MBA / B.Tech+M.Tech (6 years). Since it saves 1 year, many people would think integrated courses as better option. But, the downside here is, in case of BE+MBA (Integrated) the possibility of doing specialisation in MBA is restricted. The students would be good at Engineering and also would have management skills, yet with no specialisation in a narrow domain of management.
2) Integrated M.Sc. In Computer Science (5 years) has high demand in the job market.
3) The value of the course purely depends on the eminence of the college/university in which the student gets graduated. The integrated courses offered in IITs, NITs and various other prestigious colleges are always highly respected by the industry.
4) Few colleges provide integrated courses similar to student exchange programme. The first two years of the course would be done in an Indian university and the next two years would be pursued in a foreign university.
5) The integrated courses such as B.Tech+M.Tech (5 years) will give more subject knowledge, which are not preferred by many companies. The industries will treat both B.Tech and integrated course graduates on par.
6) Integrated course BE+MBA will make a student more of a generalist, not specialist in management.
7) The BBA+MBA (5 years) from a reputed university is highly valued.
8) LL.M. (Master in Law) has been introduced as an integrated course in India recently. Integrated courses such as B.A+B.L, B.Sc+B.L are already there. These save time and money of the students in general.
9) The students need not prepare for two entrance exams. They can do both UG and PG with one entrance exam.
10) Integrated courses hinder the opportunities to pursue the higher degree in a much more prestigious university than the one where the students pursue their UG.
