As per the tentative calendar, the December 2026 session of UGC-NET will be conducted from December 14 to 19. December 20 and 21 have been kept as buffer dates.
The Joint CSIR-UGC NET is scheduled for December 20 and 21. JEE (Main) 2027 Session 1 will be held over six days, January 22, 23, 24 and January 28, 29 and 30. January 31 has been designated as a buffer date.

The Army Cadets College examination is scheduled to be held on January 4, while the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) will be conducted on February 7.
NITTT Part 1 is scheduled for February 26 and 27. CUET-PG 2027 will be conducted over 17 days in March. NITTT Part 2 is scheduled for March 5 and 7, according to the calendar released by the testing agency.
The schedule covers examinations across different levels and disciplines, giving candidates and institutions an advance indication of the examination window for the upcoming academic cycle.
NTA has cautioned candidates that the examination dates are tentative and may be changed due to administrative, academic, statutory, logistical or other unforeseen circumstances.
The agency also clarified that the publication of the calendar does not constitute a formal notification for any examination. Detailed information bulletins and examination-specific notices will be issued separately.
NTA said the proposed calendar has been made public to help prospective candidates, educational institutions and other stakeholders plan their academic and examination-related activities.
Candidates have been advised to regularly check the official NTA website and the respective examination portals for updates. The agency has also urged candidates to rely only on information published through its official channels.
The tentative calendar provides an advance roadmap for major NTA examinations, but candidates will need to wait for individual examination notifications for confirmed dates and detailed schedules.
