The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an updated Information Bulletin for the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) December 2026 session. The updated UGC NET 2026 December information bulletin introduces revisions and clarifications to several examination-related provisions.
The updated bulletin is available on the official UGC NET website at ugcnet.nta.nic.in. The changes cover examination city preferences, evaluation of questions marked for review, entry deadlines at examination centres, footwear guidelines and other instructions for candidates.
The revised document contains changes to provisions included in the original bulletin issued on October 8, 2026. Candidates should review the updated guidelines before appearing for the examination.
According to the updated bulletin, the examination will be conducted on December 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 21, 2026. The test will be held in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode.
The application window opened on October 8 and will close on October 28, 2026. Candidates who require additional time may submit their applications with the prescribed late fee within the specified deadline.
The NTA will conduct the examination in CBT mode. The question paper will comprise two sections, Paper 1 and Paper 2, both containing objective-type multiple-choice questions.
The examination will have a total duration of three hours, with no break between the two papers. Candidates should check the instructions provided in the updated bulletin and their admit cards before the examination.

The category-wise examination fee specified by NTA is listed below. Applicable payment gateway charges and GST may be payable separately.
Candidates submitting applications during the late-fee period must pay an additional Rs 500 over and above the applicable examination fee.
Candidates are advised to rely on official NTA notices for any further changes to the examination schedule, application process or examination guidelines.
The UGC NET is conducted to determine eligibility for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), appointment as Assistant Professor, and admission to PhD programmes, according to the applicable qualification categories.
