By Vishu AdhanaNew Delhi [India], November 21 (ANI): The curriculum of the National Eligibility Test--eligibility examination compulsory for candidates planning teaching jobs in higher educational institutions--will be revised, informed UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar on Tuesday.
The revision of the syllabus of UGC-NET has been decided in a meeting held on November 3, Kumar told ANI over the phone.
UGC will form an expert committee and undertake this exercise. "Candidates will be given sufficient time before this new syllabus is introduced in UGC-NET so that the changeover happens smoothly," informed Kumar.

Candidates will be given sufficient time before this new syllabus is introduced in UGC-NET so that the changeover happens smoothly," Jagadesh said.
