The UGC NET December 2025 examination was conducted from December 31, 2025, to January 7, 2026. The provisional answer key was released on January 14.
The exam is conducted to determine eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor positions, and admission to Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes.
