Understanding the UGC NET Exam
The University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) is a nationwide examination for Indian students. It is held to decide if a candidate is eligible to become an 'Assistant Professor' in Indian universities and colleges. It also checks eligibility for 'Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor' roles. The NTA conducts this exam two times every year, usually in June and December. Thousands of students appear for this exam to pursue a career in teaching and research at higher education institutions.

City Intimation Slip vs. Admit Card: Know the Difference
Many students confuse the city intimation slip with the actual admit card. It is crucial to understand that these are two different documents.
- The City Intimation Slip serves one purpose: to tell you only the name of the city where your exam centre will be. It does not show your specific exam centre name, its exact address, your roll number, or the timing of your exam. Think of it as an early heads-up about the general location.
- The Admit Card , also called the hall ticket, is the official document needed to sit for the exam. This will be released by the NTA a few days before the exam date, usually 3 to 4 days prior. Your admit card will contain all important details: your full name, roll number, photograph, signature, the specific exam centre name and its complete address, exam date, exam time, and essential instructions to follow on the exam day. You must print and carry your admit card to the examination hall. Without it, you will not be allowed to take the test.
