no, CA/CS/CMA are not eligible for NET. https://www.ugc.ac.in/FAQ-NET.pdf

A CA is eligible to appear for the UGC net examinations

Yes, as per the latest notification 

University Grant Commission (UGC) has decided that the qualification of Chartered Accountant (CA), Company Secretary (CS) and Cost and Works Accountants (ICWA) will now be considered equivalent to Post Graduation (PG) Degree for appearing in the UGC NET exam.

You can check the details here: https://www.anujjindal.in/ugc-net-jrf-admit-card-eligibility-result/

Its a brilliant step taken by ICAI for considering CA, CS, and ICWA equivalent to a PG Degree. It is like a recognition which all the CAs deserve.

As per new norms by NTA: University Grant Commission (UGC) has decided that the qualification of Chartered Accountant (CA), Company Secretary (CS) and Cost and Works Accountants (ICWA) will now be considered equivalent to Post Graduation (PG) Degree for appearing in the UGC NET exam.

A good initiative taken by ICAI indeed

Does the CA qualification require 55% to get eligibility for appearing NET exam ?

I think so yes atleast 55% marks are required

Does the CA qualified person require 55% to get eligibility for appearing NET exam?

In case you have a CA/CS/ICWA qualification, in which case your qualification will be considered equivalent to a PG degree, allowing you to appear for the UGC NET exam

Through a notice that had come out on 15th March 2021, NTA stated that CA/CS/ICWA qualification be considered equivalent to a PG degree. Furthermore, You will get the complete eligibility details here.

Thanks!!!

Yes if passed with 55% as CA if OBC NCL, SC/ST and Pwd then 50%
