CSIR UGC NET December 2026 Exam Dates Announced

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the examination schedule for the CSIR UGC NET December 2026 session. According to the latest notification, the examination is slated to be held over two days, on December 20 and December 21, 2026. This announcement provides clarity for candidates preparing for the upcoming cycle of the national-level eligibility test.

The examination will be conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, consistent with the standard format for this assessment. Candidates are required to appear for the test on the specific date and during the shift that will be formally allotted to them by the testing body. As the exam covers a variety of subjects, the NTA will issue further notifications to outline the subject-wise timetable, shift timings, and specific examination centre details.

Admit Card and Examination City Intimation Details

In the lead-up to the examination, the NTA will provide candidates with an examination city intimation slip. This document is designed to inform applicants of the city where their designated examination centre is located, allowing for necessary travel arrangements. Following this, the official admit cards will be released, which serve as the primary document for entry into the examination hall.

The admit card will contain comprehensive details, including the exact reporting time, the specific examination centre address, and the assigned shift. Candidates are advised to monitor the official NTA and CSIR NET websites regularly for the release of these documents. Once available, candidates will need to download their admit cards and ensure they carry a printed copy to the examination centre on the day of the test, as it is a mandatory requirement for appearing in the exam.
