Joint CSIR-UGC NET December 2026: NTA Proposes 20–21 December Exam Dates

NTA’s examination calendar published 16 September proposes the Joint CSIR-UGC NET December cycle for 20–21 December 2026. The calendar is tentative and is not the exam-specific notification, so registration, city, admit-card and subject-shift details must be checked when NTA issues the separate bulletin.
