Latest update: As of October 2026, the official UGC NET website lists the December 2026 application notice and information bulletin, but no December 2026 admit card release notice was listed in the official notices checked. Candidates should monitor the official website for updates.
The overall UGC NET December 2026 examination window is scheduled for 14–19 December 2026. However, this does not establish the specific date or shift for the Management paper.
Candidates should regularly check the official website for the following updates:
Advance intimation of the examination city
Subject-wise examination schedule
Admit card release announcement
Instructions for candidates appearing in the examination
The examination city intimation slip and admit card are separate documents. Candidates should not treat the city slip as a substitute for the admit card.
