Demand for 2020-2021 UGC-NET Results: Reasons

  • UGC has made NET a criterion for PhD admission and students require the NET results to pursue further research studies.
  • The UGC- Junior Research Fellowship (UGC-JRF) is the main source of financial assistance through which the students can pursue their research studies.

Delay in UGC-NET Exam: Reasons

The schedule of June 2021 UGC-NET has been delayed due to the postponement of December 2020 UGC-NET examinations. The December 2020 examination cycle got postponed due to COVID-19. With the aim of regularizing the UGC-NET examination cycles, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has merged both UGC-NET of December 2020 and June 2021 examination cycles with permission from the UGC. This decision has been taken so that both the examination cycles can be conducted together in computer based test (CBT) mode.

Note: UGC-NET is conducted twice every year

UGC NET-JRF: Pattern

  • UGC NET is an online exam conducted as a computer-based test (CBT). 
  • The exam contains two papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2) that candidates are required to complete in a duration of three hours. 
  • Both Paper-1 and Paper-2 contain objective-type questions.
  • Paper-1 tests reasoning ability, comprehension, divergent thinking and general awareness of the candidates. 
  • Paper-2 tests subject specific knowledge of the candidates.
  • It is mandatory for candidates to attempt questions from both papers.
