Is UGC NET twice a year?

Yes, the UGC NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) is conducted twice a year, typically in the months of June and December. This biannual schedule is managed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and is designed to provide more opportunities for candidates aspiring to qualify for Assistant Professorships and Junior Research Fellowships in Indian universities and colleges.

The twice-yearly cycle aligns with academic calendars and offers flexibility, allowing candidates to choose the session that best fits their preparation and commitments. The pattern of conducting UGC NET twice annually has been consistent in recent years, with official notifications and exam dates released for both cycles each year.
