The National Testing Academy (NTA) has informed on Monday that the date for the University Grants Commission – National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) has been postponed to 18th June 2024 in view of the earlier date clashing with the UPSC CSE (Prelims) Examination 2024.

“The National Testing Agency (NTA) is in receipt of various representation from the candidates to extend the date of Examination for UGC – NET June 2024 due to UPSC CSE (Prelims) Examination – 2024 on the same date, i.e. 16 June 2024”, NTA stated.

The Agency has therefore notified that the test will be held on 18th June instead for 83 subjects in OMR (Pen and Paper), mode.

UGC-NET is a test to determine the eligibility of Indian nationals for ‘award of Junior Research Fellowship and appointment as Assistant Professor’, ‘appointment as Assistant Professor and admission to Ph.D.’ and ‘admission to Ph.D. only’ in Indian universities and colleges.
