Four exams decide most of what happens after a psychology degree in India — and one of them is really thirteen. This page says which is yours, what it is for, and what there is here to study for it.
Written by Asst. Prof. Geetika Rai. Every official fact on the pages below carries the date it was checked and a link to the body that published it — or it is not on the site at all.
Almost everyone arriving here is at one of three points. Find yours, and the rest of this page is the detail.
Sat after a postgraduate degree, and the standard route into teaching and research posts.
One syllabus, 13 exams. A State Eligibility Test is run by a different agency in each state and qualifies you for that state — so the syllabus and pattern are written here once, and each state page carries what is genuinely its own.
The common entrance sat after Class 12, for undergraduate admission.
Sat after a postgraduate degree, and the standard route into teaching and research posts.
A SET qualifies you for the state that conducts it, so sit your own state's — not "SET" in general. Each page below carries what belongs to that state alone: its conducting agency, its own subject code where one is published, its papers and its notifications.
The syllabus is not repeated on each of these pages, and that is deliberate: the UGC requires a SET's syllabus to match UGC-NET's, so thirteen copies of one syllabus would compete with each other in search and disagree with each other the first time one was edited. It is written once, on the SET page.
Exam facts go stale, and a stale eligibility rule is worse than no rule at all — somebody plans a year around it.
So on this site an official fact cannot be published without the date it was checked and a link to the body that published it. Not as a footnote: the system refuses to publish it. Where a state has not published something — a subject code, a paper archive — the page says so plainly instead of borrowing another state's and hoping.
If you find something out of date, tell us on any page — it goes to a person, and no account is needed.
These pages are informational, and we are not affiliated with any conducting body. Nothing here replaces the official notification. Always confirm eligibility and dates against the conducting body's own announcement before you act on them.
