Yes, you can appear for  NET and SET exams. There's no upper age limit for SET exam . However, in the case of NET, the eligibility depends on the type of ualification you are seeking - For junior research fellowship the upper age limit is 30 years, but age 5 years age relaxation is available for SC/ST/OBC/PH and 3 years for women candidates. but there's no any upper age limit for Assistant professor . so, you can appear for this.For both exams it is important to meet the education qualification requirements :- you should have a master's degree with at least 55% marks if you belong to general category and 50% if you are under reserved categories. 

It would be no problem to study for a Ph.D. later if you are currently 35 years old. The basic eligibility criteria in most cases for Ph.D. admission are a good master's degree (or equivalent) in the specific field, along with good academic credentials. Most institutions do not have an age limit for entry into any Ph.D. program. However, some institutions will have certain age limits and restrictions while offering specific scholarships or fellowships. As long as one fulfills the academic requirement and has a supervisor lined up, one can enroll in a Ph.D. programme immediately after clearing NET and applying through the particular university's admission process.

Yes, you can sit for the NTA NET even after getting your MA in English if you want to pursue a PG Diploma in Criminal Justice, but generally speaking, for taking the UGC NET Criminology Exam, a Master's in Criminology or other related subjects is a pre-requirement.Since your educational background is in English, you would want to verify whether the NTA permits candidates having a degree in a related field to apply for the Criminology subject. Normally, candidates are requested to appear in the subject of their post-graduation or an allied subject. Verify whether you fulfill the minimum percentage requirements mentioned by the NTA (normally 55% for the General category and 50% for the reserved categories).
