Yes, you can. The general rule is one should choose his own subject area, the one that he studied in his post graduation. But this is relaxed in favour of related/ allied disciplines.

Since you are a management graduate, you can apply for NET in three different subjects: Management, Commerce and Labour Welfare/ Industrial Relations.
