UGC NET 2021 Examination Schedule Revised Today

NTA (National Testing Agency) officials have updated the examination schedule for UGC NET 2021. The board released the official notification regarding the modification of the exam schedule on the examination’s official website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. As per the new schedule, the assessment will take place on 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, and 19 October 2021.

Earlier, the NTA planned to conduct the UGC NET 2021 from 6 to 11 October 2021. However, significant assessments, including the MAHA TET and UPSC IAS prelims, will also occur during the UGC’s original testing window. Thus, the board decided to reschedule the assessment due to the time conflict with other examinations.

In addition, the board cancelled the December 2020 session of the assessment last year due to the government-sanctioned lockdown. Officials also postponed the June 2021 session of the UGC NET due to COVID-19 concerns. Thus, both sessions will now take place at the same time from 6 October.
