You have to do graduation (3 years) in any subject of your interest and then do Post Graduation (2 years) in it and qualify UGC lectureship. Or you can join for integrated courses (5 years) which include graduation and post graduation. If you do Ph.D. after Post graduation, then you don't have to qualify NET exam. Some colleges allow you to work as guest lecture even if you have not qualified UGC. It will only be a temporary post. While choosing institutions, choose wisely. Universities give you more exposure to different lectures. Also, the library and seminars you get there will be different from other private colleges. You'll get foreign lecturers as visiting Professors in some universities.
