The extension provides relief to applicants who may have faced delays due to technical difficulties or trouble gathering necessary documents.

With the application deadline now extended, the fee payment window has also been updated.

Candidates can make fee payments through credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI until 11:59 pm on May 13, 2025.

Additionally, NTA has adjusted the correction window for submitted applications. Applicants will have the opportunity to edit their details between May 14 and May 15, 2025, until 11:59 pm, using the same portal.

To complete the application, candidates must visit ugcnet.nta.ac.in, access the registration link, and create login credentials.

After logging in, they should fill out the application form with accurate personal, academic, and contact details; upload a recent photograph and signature; and pay the exam fee through an online method.

Once submitted, the completed form should be downloaded and saved for reference.

UGC NET is a vital examination for individuals pursuing teaching and research careers in India.

Conducted by the NTA on behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC), it serves as a key qualifier for research fellowships and academic positions in higher education institutions nationwide.
