The UGC NET, or University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test, helps candidates qualify for Assistant Professor positions or Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) in Indian universities. The written exam for the December session of UGC NET 2025 is scheduled from December 31, 2025 , to January 7, 2026 . This test is a crucial step for many students looking for an academic career.
Before the admit cards, the NTA had already released the UGC NET 2025 Dec Cycle City Intimation Slip. This slip told candidates which city their exam would be in. This helped them plan travel and accommodation early.
