The regular application window for UGC NET December 2026 closed at 11:50 pm on October 28, but there are still two days left for anyone who missed it.
The story so far
NTA's December cycle opened applications on October 8 and sets the exam in mid-December. JammuBeat's earlier field guide to UGC NET December 2026 covers eligibility and how to apply.
What's new
Per CareerIndia's summary of the NTA schedule:
- Late-fee window: October 29 to October 31, until 11:50 pm (an extra Rs 500 is reported by Careers360).
- Correction window: November 2 to 4, until 11:50 pm, online only.
- City slip: November 23. Admit card: from December 7.
- Exam: December 14 to 18 and December 21.
- Fees: Rs 1,150 (General), Rs 600 (EWS/OBC-NCL), Rs 325 (SC/ST/PwD).
One of the pages reviewed is unclear on whether the deadline was formally extended or whether this is a late-fee window, so confirm on NTA's UGC NET site before paying. Careers360 carries the same dates.
