The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a revised schedule for the University Grants Commission (UGC) National Eligibility Test (NET) 2024 December session exams originally slated for January 15. The rescheduled exams will now take place on January 21 and January 27, 2025, in two phases.
The decision to postpone the exams scheduled for January 15 was taken following multiple requests from candidates, citing overlapping dates with festivals such as Pongal, Makar Sankranti, and others. However, the tests scheduled for January 16 remain unchanged.
Revised Exam Dates
The 17 subject-specific exams originally set for January 15 have been divided between the two new dates as follows:
January 21, 2025
January 27, 2025
The computer-based test (CBT) is a national-level exam for awarding the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and for the appointment of professors and assistant professors. Additionally, UGC NET 2025 will facilitate admissions to 85 PhD programmes across India.
Candidates are advised to check the official UGC NET website for further updates regarding the admit cards for the revised dates.
