UGC NET December 2026 Last Date Extended — ab aap 31 October 2026 ki raat 11:50 baje tak bina late fee ke online application bhar sakte hain aur examination fee bhi jama kar sakte hain. Agar aapka form abhi tak adhoora pada hai, photo ya signature upload nahi hua hai, ya fee payment atak gaya tha, to ye khabar seedha aapke kaam ki hai. National Testing Agency (NTA) ne UGC NET December 2026 ke liye application ki aakhri tareekh badha di hai, aur is baar ki sabse badi rahat ye hai ki badhi hui tareekh tak apply karne par koi late fee nahi lagegi. Pehle ke schedule me 28 October ke baad 29 se 31 October tak late fee ke saath apply karne ka window tha, lekin naye notice ke mutabiq ab 31 October tak ka poora window bina late fee ke khula rahega. Iska matlab ye hua ki jinhone abhi tak form nahi bhara, ya jinka form kisi wajah se poora nahi ho paya, unhe extra paisa diye bina ek aur mauka mil gaya hai. Lekin iska ye matlab bilkul nahi hai ki aap aakhri din ka intezaar karein, kyunki aakhri ghanton me portal par load badh jata hai aur chhoti si technical dikkat bhi form adhoora chhod sakti hai.
Is post me hum poori jaankari simple bhasha me samjhayenge ki kya badla hai, kis par iska asar padega, nayi important dates kya hain, fee kitni hai, kaun apply kar sakta hai, exam ka pattern kya hai, aur step-by-step form kaise bharna hai. Saath hi un aam galtiyon par bhi baat karenge jinse har saal hazaron candidates ka form reject ya defective ho jata hai. Aakhri me official links aur aksar poochhe jaane wale sawaal bhi diye gaye hain, taaki aapko kisi aur jagah bhatakna na pade.
UGC NET December 2026 Last Date Extended — Kya Badla Hai?
Sabse pehle ye samajhna zaroori hai ki asal me badla kya hai, kyunki is baar dates ko lekar thoda confusion bhi faila hua hai. Shuruaat me UGC NET December 2026 ka notification 8 October 2026 ko jari hua tha. Us schedule ke mutabiq online registration 8 October se 28 October 2026 tak tha, aur 29 se 31 October tak late fee ke saath apply karne ka window rakha gaya tha. Ab NTA ke 27 October 2026 ke public notice ke hawale se kai bharosemand education portals ne bataya hai ki aakhri tareekh ko 31 October 2026 tak badha diya gaya hai, aur is badhe hue samay me application aur fee payment dono bina late fee ke ho sakenge. Yani ab 28 October ko form band nahi hoga, balki 31 October ki raat 11:50 baje tak portal khula rahega.
Is badlav ki wajah bhi samajhne layak hai. NTA ke notice ke hawale se bataya gaya hai ki 25 October 2026 tak kul 5,50,048 candidates ne registration kar liya tha, lekin unme se sirf 3,73,419 candidates ne apna application poora karke fee bhi jama ki thi. Kareeb 1,36,993 candidates aise the jinhone na photo aur signature upload kiye the aur na fee bhari thi, jabki 31,580 candidates ne documents to upload kar diye the lekin fee payment poora nahi kiya tha. Yani lakhon ke kareeb candidates kisi na kisi stage par atke hue the. Aise me deadline badhana aur late fee hatana ek vyavaharik faisla lagta hai, taaki adhure form poore ho sakein aur koi sirf isliye exam se bahar na ho jaye kyunki uska payment atak gaya tha ya document upload nahi ho paya tha.
Ek aur zaroori badlav exam dates ko lekar hai. Pehle ke UGC NET December 2026 Exam Date wale post aur purane schedule me exam 14 se 19 December 2026 bataya gaya tha, lekin NTA ke revised examination calendar ke mutabiq ab UGC NET December 2026 ki pariksha 14 se 18 December aur 21 December 2026 ko hogi. Yani exam ke din 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 aur 21 December hain. Is baat ko dhyan se samajh lein, kyunki kuch jagah sirf “14 se 21 December” likha mil sakta hai, jisse aisa lag sakta hai ki 19 aur 20 December ko bhi exam hai. Asal schedule ke mutabiq aisa nahi hai. Apna subject-wise exam date aur shift city intimation slip aur admit card se hi final samajhna hai, jo baad me jari honge.
Ek chhoti si savdhani bhi yahan zaroori hai. Deadline badhne ki khabar aane ke baad bhi kuch live update pages par purana schedule dikhai de raha tha, isliye apply karne se pehle official portal ugcnet.nta.nic.in par latest notice zaroor check kar lein. Agar portal par 31 October tak ka window dikh raha hai to aap aaram se, lekin jaldi, apna form poora kar sakte hain. Official notice hi antim sach mana jayega, kisi bhi news ya blog ki khabar nahi.
Is Badlav Se Kis Par Asar Padega?
Ye extension sabse zyada un candidates ke kaam aayega jinka form kisi wajah se adhoora reh gaya tha. Agar aapne sirf registration kiya tha aur form bharna baaki tha, to ab aap bina late fee ke use poora kar sakte hain. Agar aapne form to bhar diya tha lekin photo ya signature ki wajah se form aage nahi badh raha tha, to ab aap sahi format me documents dobara upload karke form poora kar sakte hain. Aur agar aapka fee payment fail ho gaya tha ya aapne payment kiya hi nahi tha, to ab aap 31 October ki raat 11:50 baje tak payment karke confirmation page download kar sakte hain.
Naye candidates ke liye bhi ye ek bada mauka hai. Kai students aise hote hain jo notification dekhne me der kar dete hain, ya ye soch kar ruk jaate hain ki form bharne me bahut jhanjhat hoga. Unke liye ab bhi 31 October tak ka samay hai. Lekin ye samay sirf un logon ke liye faydemand hai jo iska sahi istemal karenge. Jo candidate ye sochega ki abhi to teen din hain, baad me bhar lunga, wo wahi galti dobara kar sakta hai jo pehle hui thi. Isliye behtar ye hai ki aaj hi, isi waqt, form bharne baith jayein aur use poora karke confirmation page ka print nikal lein.
Un candidates ko bhi rahat mili hai jo ye soch kar pareshan the ki late fee ke 500 rupaye extra dene padenge. Naye notice ke mutabiq badhe hue window me koi late fee nahi lagegi, isliye aapko sirf apni category ke hisab se nirdharit examination fee hi deni hogi. General category ke liye ye fee 1,150 rupaye, EWS aur OBC-NCL ke liye 600 rupaye, aur SC, ST, PwD aur third gender candidates ke liye 325 rupaye hai. Fee online mode se hi jama hogi, aur payment safal hone ke baad hi aapka form poora mana jayega.
UGC NET December 2026 — Important Dates Ek Nazar Me
Neeche di gayi table me saari zaroori tareekhen ek jagah de di gayi hain, taaki aapko baar-baar alag-alag jagah na dekhna pade. In dates ko dhyan se note kar lein aur apne phone ya diary me reminder laga lein.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification jari | 8 October 2026 |
| Online registration shuru | 8 October 2026 |
| Application aur fee payment ki nayi aakhri tareekh | 31 October 2026, raat 11:50 baje tak |
| Late fee | Badhe hue window me koi late fee nahi |
| Application correction window | 2 se 4 November 2026 |
| Exam city intimation | Baad me ghoshit hogi |
| Admit card | Baad me jari hoga |
| UGC NET December 2026 exam | 14 se 18 December aur 21 December 2026 |
| Exam mode | Computer Based Test (CBT) |
| Kul subjects | 87 |
| Official website | ugcnet.nta.nic.in |
Is table me ek baat par khaas dhyan dein: correction window 2 se 4 November 2026 tak rakhi gayi hai. Iska matlab ye hai ki agar form bharte waqt aap se koi chhoti galti ho gayi hai, to use sudharne ka ek mauka aur milega. Lekin correction window me har cheez badli nahi ja sakti. Kaun-kaun se details badle ja sakte hain, ye NTA ke correction notice me saaf likha hoga. Isliye form bharte waqt hi poori savdhani baratna behtar hai, correction window ko bharosa bana kar galti karna samajhdari nahi hai.
Application Fee — Category Ke Hisab Se
Fee ko lekar bhi aksar confusion rehta hai, isliye ise alag se saaf kar dena zaroori hai. UGC NET December 2026 ke liye category-wise fee is prakar hai.
| Category | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| General | 1,150 rupaye |
| EWS aur OBC-NCL | 600 rupaye |
| SC, ST, PwD aur third gender | 325 rupaye |
Fee ka bhugtan net banking, credit card, debit card ya UPI se kiya ja sakta hai. Payment karne ke baad confirmation page zaroor download karein aur uska print nikal kar sambhal kar rakhein. Kai baar payment to kat jata hai lekin confirmation page generate nahi hota, ya candidate use download karna bhool jata hai. Aise me baad me ye sabit karna mushkil ho jata hai ki aapne form poora kiya tha. Isliye payment ke turant baad confirmation page check karein, aur agar payment kata hai lekin confirmation nahi mila hai to thoda intezaar karke dobara login karke status dekhein. Agar samasya bani rehti hai to NTA ke helpdesk se sampark karein, lekin aakhri din tak intezaar mat karein.
Kaun Apply Kar Sakta Hai — Eligibility Simple Bhasha Me
UGC NET un candidates ke liye hai jo Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor ki eligibility, ya PhD me admission chahte hain. Is exam me teen categories hoti hain: pehli, JRF aur Assistant Professor dono ke liye; doosri, Assistant Professor aur PhD admission ke liye; teesri, sirf PhD admission ke liye. Form bharte waqt aapko ye category chunni hoti hai, isliye pehle se tay kar lein ki aap kis category me apply karna chahte hain.
Shikshan yogyata ki baat karein to aam taur par candidate ke paas UGC se manyata prapt vishwavidyalaya se master degree ya uske samakaksh degree honi chahiye, jisme samanya varg ke liye kam se kam 55 pratishat ank hon. Aarakshit vargon ke liye isme chhoot di jaati hai, jo information bulletin me vistaar se likhi hoti hai. Jo students master degree ke antim varsh me hain ya jinka result abhi aana baaki hai, ve bhi nirdharit sharton ke saath apply kar sakte hain, lekin unhe bulletin ki shartein dhyan se padhni chahiye. Yahan ek baat saaf kar dein: eligibility ki poori aur antim jaankari hamesha official information bulletin se hi lein, kyunki category-wise chhoot aur vishesh shartein samay-samay par badal sakti hain.
Age limit ko lekar bhi candidates aksar poochte hain. JRF ke liye aam taur par upper age limit rakhi jaati hai, jabki Assistant Professor ki eligibility ke liye koi upper age limit nahi hoti. Aarakshit vargon, mahila candidates aur kuch anya shreniyon ke liye age me chhoot bhi milti hai. Isliye form bharne se pehle apni category ke hisab se age limit aur chhoot zaroor check kar lein, taaki baad me koi pareshani na ho.
Exam Pattern — Paper 1 Aur Paper 2 Ko Samajh Lein
UGC NET December 2026 Computer Based Test mode me hogi, yani exam computer par online hogi. Isme do paper hote hain, aur dono paper ek hi shift me, bina break ke, lagatar hote hain. Kul samay 3 ghante, yani 180 minute, hota hai. Kul 150 prashn poochhe jaate hain aur kul ank 300 hote hain.
Paper 1 samanya aptitude ka hota hai. Isme teaching aur research aptitude, tark shakti, samajh, sanchar, ganitiya tark, data interpretation, soochna aur sanchar takneek, log aur paryavaran jaise vishayon se prashn aate hain. Isme 50 prashn hote hain aur har prashn 2 ank ka hota hai, yani kul 100 ank. Paper 1 sabhi subjects ke candidates ke liye ek jaisa hota hai.
Paper 2 aapke chune hue subject ka hota hai. Isme 100 prashn hote hain aur har prashn 2 ank ka hota hai, yani kul 200 ank. Is paper me aapke subject ki gehri samajh parakhi jaati hai. Dono paper milakar 150 prashn aur 300 ank ho jaate hain. Ek zaroori baat jo NTA ne revised bulletin me saaf ki hai, wo ye hai ki jo prashn aap attempt karenge, chahe unhe review ke liye mark kiya ho ya nahi, unka mulyankan hoga. Jo prashn aap attempt hi nahi karenge, unka mulyankan nahi hoga, chahe unhe review ke liye mark kiya gaya ho ya nahi. Isliye exam me apni strategy pehle se tay karke jayein.
Exam centre par bhi kuch naye nirdesh diye gaye hain. Pariksha kendra ke gate exam shuru hone se 30 minute pehle band ho jayenge, isliye samay se pehle pahunchna bahut zaroori hai. Der se pahunchne par pravesh nahi milega, aur is baat par bahas karna unfair means mana ja sakta hai. Samanya joote, chappal aur kam heel wali sandal ki anumati hai, lekin lambe boot pehne ki anumati nahi hai. Pariksha kendra par pen bhi diya jayega, isliye barred items ki list ko dhyan se padh lein aur wahi saaman lekar jayein jo anumati ke dayre me hai.
Step-By-Step — Online Form Kaise Bharein
Ab sabse kaam ki baat: form bharna kaise hai. Neeche diye gaye steps ko ek-ek karke follow karein, aur har step ke baad details ko dobara check kar lein.
Pehla step: official website ugcnet.nta.nic.in par jayein. Kisi bhi teesri website ya agent ke link se form mat bharein, kyunki nakli websites par aapki vyaktigat jaankari aur paisa dono khatre me pad sakte hain. Homepage par UGC NET December 2026 application ka link milega, us par click karein.
Doosra step: naya registration karein. Iske liye aapko apna valid email ID aur mobile number dena hoga. Registration ke baad aapko application number aur password milega. In dono ko kahin surakshit likh kar rakh lein, kyunki aage har login me inki zaroorat padegi. Email aur mobile number wahi dein jo aap roz check karte hon, kyunki saari zaroori soochna inhi par aayegi.
Teesra step: login karke personal details bharein. Isme aapka naam, pita ya mata ka naam, janm tithi, ling, category, divyangjan sthiti, rashtriyata aur sampark details shamil hain. Naam aur janm tithi bilkul wahi likhein jo aapke official documents, jaise Aadhaar ya marksheet, me likhi hai. Naam me spelling ki chhoti si galti bhi baad me badi pareshani ban sakti hai.
Chautha step: shaikshanik details bharein. Isme aapki master degree, subject, vishwavidyalaya, passing year ya appearing status, aur praptank shamil hain. Jo students antim varsh me hain, ve appearing ka vikalp chun kar sahi jaankari dein.
Paanchva step: exam se judi choices bharein. Isme aapko apna subject chunna hai, JRF ya Assistant Professor ya PhD-only me se category chunni hai, aur exam centre ke liye char shahron ki prathmikta deni hai. Shahron ki choice aam taur par aapke sthayi ya vartaman pate wale rajya tak seemit rehti hai. Agar aapke rajya me char se kam shahar uplabdh hain to portal par dikhaye gaye vikalpon me se chunna hoga. Correction window me centre ki prathmikta badli ja sakti hai, lekin pehli baar me hi soch-samajh kar chunna behtar hai.
Chhatha step: documents upload karein. Isme passport size photo, signature, aur yadi lagu ho to PwD ya category certificate shamil hain. Photo aur signature ke liye nirdharit format aur size ka palan karein. Photo JPEG format me, aam taur par 10 se 200 KB ke beech, aur signature 10 se 50 KB ke beech hona chahiye. Photo saaf, haal ki, aur halki background wali honi chahiye. Dhundhli ya purani photo se form defective ho sakta hai.
Saatvaan step: poora form preview karke dobara padhein. Ye step sabse zaroori hai aur sabse zyada log isi me laparwahi karte hain. Har field ko dheere-dheere check karein: naam ki spelling, janm tithi, category, subject, mobile number, email ID, photo aur signature. Agar koi galti dikhe to turant sudhaar lein, kyunki final submit ke baad badlav ke liye correction window ka intezaar karna padega.
Aathvaan step: fee ka bhugtan karein. Apni category ke hisab se fee chunein aur online payment karein. Payment safal hone par confirmation page ka intezaar karein aur use download karke print nikal lein. Confirmation page hi is baat ka saboot hai ki aapka form poora ho gaya hai.
Documents Ki Checklist — Pehle Se Taiyar Rakhein
Form bharte waqt aksar log documents dhoondhne me samay barbaad kar dete hain, aur aakhri din ye samay ki barbaadi mehngi pad sakti hai. Isliye neeche di gayi checklist ko pehle se taiyar kar lein.
Aapke paas valid email ID aur mobile number hona chahiye, jo aapke naam par ho aur jise aap niyamit roop se check karte hon. Aadhaar card ya koi valid photo pehchan patra apne paas rakhein. Master degree ki marksheet ya degree, ya yadi aap antim varsh me hain to usse judi jaankari, taiyar rakhein. Category certificate, yadi aap SC, ST, OBC-NCL ya EWS category se hain to, nirdharit format me hona chahiye. PwD certificate, yadi lagu ho to, dono taraf se ek hi PDF me scan karke rakhein. Passport size photo aur signature nirdharit size aur format me scan karke rakhein. Fee payment ke liye debit card, credit card, net banking ya UPI ki suvidha taiyar rakhein.
Ek aur zaroori baat: photo aur signature upload karte waqt file ka size aur format bilkul sahi hona chahiye. Bade size ki file upload nahi hogi aur chhoti ya dhundhli photo baad me defective mana ja sakta hai. Isliye photo ko pehle se hi sahi size me taiyar karke rakhein, aur upload ke baad preview me use dekh kar hi aage badhein.
Aam Galtiyan — Jinse Har Saal Form Atakta Hai
Har saal UGC NET ke form me kuch aam galtiyan dobara hoti hain, aur unse bachna bahut aasan hai bas thodi savdhani chahiye. Pehli galti hai naam aur janm tithi me spelling ki galti. Log jaldbazi me naam galat likh dete hain, ya janm tithi ka format ulat jaata hai. Doosri galti hai galat category chunna. Kai candidates EWS aur OBC-NCL me confuse ho jaate hain, ya category certificate ke bina hi aarakshit category chun lete hain. Teesri galti hai photo aur signature ka galat format. Chauthi galti hai fee payment adhoora chhod dena. Kai candidates form bhar to lete hain lekin payment karna bhool jaate hain, ya payment fail hone par dobara koshish nahi karte. Aise form poore nahi mane jaate.
Paanchvi galti hai confirmation page download na karna. Form bharne ke baad confirmation page hi antim saboot hai, isliye ise download karke print nikalna bilkul mat bhoolein. Chhathi galti hai aakhri din par bharosa karna. Aakhri din portal par load badh jata hai, bank server slow ho sakta hai, aur photo upload me dikkat aa sakti hai. Isliye form ko aakhri din ke liye mat chhodein, balki aaj hi poora kar lein. Saatvi galti hai galat email ya mobile number dena. Agar aapne galat email di to admit card aur city intimation ki soochna aap tak nahi pahunchegi.
Correction Window, City Intimation Aur Admit Card
Form bharne ke baad bhi aapke paas sudhaar ka ek mauka hoga. Correction window 2 se 4 November 2026 tak khuli rahegi. Is dauran aap kuch nirdharit details me sudhaar kar sakte hain. Lekin ye mat samajh lein ki correction window me sab kuch badla ja sakta hai. Mobile number, email ID aur kuch mool details badalne par pratibandh ho sakta hai. Isliye correction window ko safety net samajhna chahiye, galti karne ka license nahi.
Exam city intimation slip baad me jari hogi, jisme aapko bataya jayega ki aapka exam kis shahar me hoga. Iske baad admit card jari hoga, jisme exam centre ka poora pata, reporting time, shift aur zaroori nirdesh likhe honge. Admit card download karne ke baad usme apna naam, photo, signature, subject aur exam date dhyan se check karein. Agar admit card me koi galti dikhe to turant NTA ke nirdeshon ke mutabiq sampark karein, exam ke din ka intezaar mat karein.
Form Bharne Ke Baad Aage Kya Karein
Form poora karne ke baad sabse pehla kaam hai confirmation page ko sambhal kar rakhna. Iske baad apni taiyari par dhyan dein. Paper 1 ke liye teaching aptitude, research aptitude, tark shakti aur data interpretation par niyamit abhyas karein. Paper 2 ke liye apne subject ke mool siddhanton ko majboot karein aur pichhle varshon ke prashn patron ka abhyas karein. Exam se pehle mock test dena bhi faydemand hota hai, kyunki isse aapko 3 ghante ki lagatar pariksha ka abhyas ho jata hai aur samay prabandhan sudhar jata hai.
Ek aur zaroori baat: exam ke din ke nirdeshon ko pehle se padh lein. Kya lekar jana hai, kya nahi lekar jana hai, reporting time kya hai, gate kab band hoga, ye sab baatein admit card par likhi hongi. Exam ke din subah jaldi nikalna, centre ka pata pehle se dekh lena, aur zaroori documents ek din pehle hi taiyar karke rakhna, ye chhoti-chhoti baatein exam ke din ke tanav ko bahut kam kar deti hain.
Is Update Ka Seedha Matlab — Ek Line Me Samajh Lein
Agar aap UGC NET December 2026 dena chahte hain aur abhi tak aapka form poora nahi hua hai, to aapke paas ab 31 October 2026 ki raat 11:50 baje tak ka samay hai, aur is samay me aapko koi late fee nahi deni hogi. Exam 14 se 18 December aur 21 December 2026 ko hogi, aur correction window 2 se 4 November tak khuli rahegi. Ye teen baatein yaad rakh lein, aur form aaj hi poora kar lein. Aakhri din ka intezaar karna hi sabse badi galti hoti hai.
Aksar Poochhe Jaane Wale Sawaal
UGC NET December 2026 ki nayi aakhri tareekh kya hai?
Nayi aakhri tareekh 31 October 2026 hai, aur application aur fee payment dono raat 11:50 baje tak bina late fee ke poore kiye ja sakte hain. Isse pehle ka schedule 28 October tak tha, jiske baad late fee wala window tha, lekin naye notice ke mutabiq ab 31 October tak bina late fee ke apply ho sakega.
Kya 31 October tak apply karne par late fee lagegi?
Nahi, NTA ke 27 October ke notice ke hawale se bataya gaya hai ki badhi hui tareekh tak application aur fee payment bina late fee ke ho sakega. Aapko sirf apni category ke hisab se nirdharit fee deni hogi, jo General ke liye 1,150 rupaye, EWS aur OBC-NCL ke liye 600 rupaye, aur SC, ST, PwD aur third gender ke liye 325 rupaye hai.
UGC NET December 2026 ki pariksha kab hogi?
Pariksha 14 se 18 December aur 21 December 2026 ko hogi. Yani exam ke din 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 aur 21 December hain. Apne subject ka sahi exam date aur shift city intimation slip aur admit card se hi final samajhna hai.
Correction window kab khulegi?
Correction window 2 se 4 November 2026 tak khuli rahegi. Is dauran aap kuch nirdharit details me sudhaar kar sakte hain. Kaun si details badli ja sakengi, ye NTA ke correction notice me saaf likha hoga, isliye form bharte waqt hi poori savdhani baratna behtar hai.
Agar mera fee payment fail ho gaya hai to kya karun?
Sabse pehle thoda intezaar karke dobara login karke payment status check karein. Kai baar payment thodi der baad update ho jata hai. Agar payment kata hai lekin confirmation page nahi mila hai to dobara payment karne se pehle status zaroor check karein, taaki double payment na ho. Samasya bani rahe to NTA helpdesk se sampark karein, lekin aakhri din tak intezaar mat karein.
