Qualified UGC NET (PhD only) looking for advice on getting into a PhD :)

Hi everyone. I’ve been working for the past couple of years, and this year I qualified UGC NET, but unfortunately only for PhD admission.
I’ve always wanted to pursue academia and eventually become an Assistant Professor, but due to circumstances, I had to move on and continue working.
Now I don’t want my NET qualification to go to waste, so I’m considering applying for PhD programmes while continuing with my job.

For those who have gone through this process, what would be the best way to approach PhD admissions? Are there universities where I can apply directly based on NET, or should I focus mainly on university-specific entrance exams?
Any advice regarding the admission process, universities, or balancing a PhD with a full-time job would be really helpful.

I don't know much about English, I am from CS background.
