UGC NET Exam 2024: Exam Day Instructions
- Arrive at the exam center well before the time stated on your admit card. This will give you enough time for security checks and to get familiar with the exam environment.
- Wear comfortable clothes that follow the exam center's dress code. Avoid jewelry and clothing with elaborate embroidery or pockets, as these can cause delays during security checks.
- Candidates will also be permitted to carry a personal transparent water bottle.
"Candidates are not allowed to carry any other personal belongings, including electronic devices, or mobile phones to the Examination Centre. Examination officials will not be responsible for the safekeeping of personal belongings, and there will be no facility," as per UGC guidelines.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the UGC-NET exam on behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC). This test determines if Indian nationals are eligible for roles as Assistant Professors or for the Junior Research Fellowship and Assistant Professor positions in Indian universities and colleges. Since December 2018, the UGC-NET has been held in a Computer Based Test (CBT) format.
The UGC-NET exam is conducted twice a year, in June and December. To keep the exam schedule regular, the NTA, with UGC's approval, is conducting the UGC NET December 2023 exam in 83 subjects at various cities across the country.
