Salary / Pay
SET is an eligibility test, not a recruitment for a fixed salary — passing it does not pay you directly. Once you qualify, you become eligible to apply for Assistant Professor / Lecturer posts in Chhattisgarh, which are typically paid at UGC Academic Pay Level 10 (7th Pay Commission) as per state rules. The exact pay for any future post will be as stated in that recruitment's notification; the pay level here is indicative.
Selection Process
Selection is through a single written examination (exam date 4 October 2026, admit card from 28 September 2026). You must score the qualifying marks in your chosen subject to be declared SET-qualified. There is no interview stage for the SET itself — the certificate simply makes you eligible for Assistant Professor / Lecturer recruitment.
