UGC NET Exam Details Overview 2024

The National Eligibility Test (NET), also known as UGC NET or NTA-UGC-NET, is an examination conducted by the National Testing Agency on behalf of the University Grants Commission to determine eligibility for the post of assistant professor and/or Junior Research Fellowship award in Indian universities and colleges. Until July 2018, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the UGC NET exam, which the NTA has been conducting since December 2018. The exam is considered one of the hardest exams in India, with a success rate of only 6%.

Some key points about the UGC NET exam are:

  • The exam is conducted twice a year, in the months of June and December.
  • The exam is conducted in online mode, and candidates can choose their exam center.
