UGC NET Paper-III questions will be fully Objective Type

It is fact that number of NET aspirants are increasing every year. Following figure suggests the number of examinee in some subjects under the University of Calcutta centre for December 2011 UGC NET exam:
Economics - 307
Political Science - 228
History - 354
Commerce - 278
Education - 239
Management 362
Bengali 1143
Hindi - 286
Sanskrit - 409
English 991
Geography - 941
Computer Science & Applications - 813
Electronic Science - 182

So, it's very difficult to assess those many answer scripts within stipulated time. Also there is variability in awarding marks among different examineers for the same answer.
CSIR has already implemented from June 2011 that CSIR NET will be fully objective type questions.

University Grant Commission has also decided that UGC NET will be of fully objective type from June 2012. That is, Paper-I, Paper-II, and Paper-III all will be now of objective type. The exact phrase in the resolution, as per the document, is "Commission decided that Paper-III be converted into objective type from the ensuing examination scheduled in June
2012.". The detail of the resolution by UGC, along with other topics as discussed in 482nd meeting of UGC on 22nd December 2011, in this regard can be found in the link - http://www.ugc.ac.in/more/commissiondecision/482.pdf

This is a great decision taken by UGC.

Now the qualifying marks for paper III is 50% for general, 45% for OBC, and 40% for rest of the students.
