UGC NET December 2026 Notification Out: Eligibility, Fee Aur Apply Karne Ka Poora Process

National Testing Agency (NTA) ne UGC NET December 2026 session ki official notification 8 October 2026 ko release kar di hai, aur online application process bhi usi din se ugcnet.nta.nic.in par shuru ho gaya hai. Yeh exam un candidates ke liye bahut important hota hai jo Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor ki job, ya kisi bhi Indian university/college mein PhD admission lena chahte hain. Online form bharne ki last date 28 October 2026 hai, isliye jo bhi eligible candidates apply karna chahte hain unhe jaldi registration complete kar lena chahiye, kyunki last-minute mein server slow ho sakta hai ya documents upload karne mein dikkat aa sakti hai.

Eligibility ki baat karein toh General category ke candidates ke paas recognised university se Master's degree mein kam se kam 55% marks hone chahiye, jabki OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD aur third-gender category ke candidates ke liye yeh requirement 50% marks hai. Jo candidates abhi apne final year ya final semester mein hain, woh bhi provisionally apply kar sakte hain, lekin unhe apna result declaration ke baad certain time-limit ke andar final degree certificate submit karna hoga, isliye apne university ke exam schedule par bhi dhyan rakhein.

Application fee category ke hisaab se alag-alag hai — General/Unreserved candidates ke liye Rs 1,150, General-EWS aur OBC-NCL candidates ke liye Rs 600, aur SC, ST, PwD aur third-gender candidates ke liye Rs 325 rakhi gayi hai. Fee sirf online mode (debit card, credit card, net banking ya UPI) se hi submit ki ja sakti hai. Agar koi candidate deadline ke baad bhi apply karna chahta hai, toh usske liye ek short late-fee window bhi expected hai, lekin safe side ke liye regular deadline ke andar hi form submit kar dena behtar rahega.

Exam pattern ki baat karein toh UGC NET do papers mein hota hai — Paper 1 Teaching aur Research Aptitude test karta hai jo sabke liye common hota hai, aur Paper 2 candidate ke chosen subject par based hota hai, in total 87 subjects available hain. Yeh pura exam Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode mein conduct hoga, aur is baar exam dates 14 se 19 December 2026 tak rakhi gayi hain. Admit card exam dates ke kareeb release hoga, usme apna exam city aur reporting time carefully check kar lein.

Jo bhi candidates is baar UGC NET December 2026 ke liye apply kar rahe hain, unhe advice di jaati hai ki NTA ki official website par jaakar complete information bulletin download karke padh lein, kyunki usme eligibility, syllabus, aur exam-day instructions ki detailed jaankari hoti hai. Preparation ke liye NTA ke official syllabus ke hisaab se chalna sabse safe tareeka hai, aur previous year question papers solve karke apni speed aur accuracy dono improve karni chahiye.
