With the latest updates about UGC NET 2022 been fed to you, let me again bring you back to the topic in focus.

While I’ve briefed you with the basic information, now take a careful look at the Detailed Notification of UGC NET 2022, to learn more about the exam aspects.

Now, Remember, such notifications, like the one whose link has been attached, are extremely detailed and are usually 70-80 pages long. Therefore, in this blog and my other UGC NET blogs, I have simplified all the information given in such notifications and conveyed the same in a clear and concise manner.

NTA UGC NET Exam Dates

The “UGC NET Exam dates” is the most sought-after information by UGC NET aspirants. This perhaps solidifies the reason why the National Testing Agency (NTA) does not give premature details about the NTA NET exam dates, i.e., keeps it reserved and disseminates it in a separate notice after the release of the official notification only.

The official notification of UGC NET 2022 came out on 30th April 2022 & the UGC NET Exam Dates have been released on 25th June 2022. NTA will conduct exam in the month of July & August. The exam will take place on 09th, 11th & 12th in the month of July and 12th, 13th & 14th in the month of August.

The detailed subject wise date sheet has not been released by NTA till now and will be updated here as soon as NTA releases it on their official website.

However, breaking from the stereotypes, when it comes to the UGC NET Exam Date 2022, there is a major update available. The exam will now be known as the UGC NET December 2021 and June 2022 merged cycle.
