UGC NET June 2024: Verify Eligibility and Fee Schedule; NTA to Release Application Forms Soon

In June, the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) session I test is scheduled to be administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA). According to the NTA test schedule for 2024–2025 academic year, June 10–21 is most likely when the competitive exam will take place.

The UGC NET June 2024 session registration window is anticipated to begin by April, based on information from the media. City slips and admit cards will be sent to registered candidates after the registration procedure. But the authorities haven’t yet made the formal statement.

Candidates may register themselves by visiting the UGC NET official website at ugcnet.nta.nic.in once the portal opens to applicants for the June Session.
