The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the admit cards for the UGC NET June 2026 exam. Candidates who have applied for this exam can now download their hall tickets by visiting the official website. Candidates appearing for the exam are advised to download their admit cards beforehand and carefully verify all the details mentioned on them to avoid any issues later.

When is the UGC NET exam scheduled?
The exams for which the NTA has released admit cards will be conducted on June 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, and 30, 2026. Candidates can now download their admit cards online for all these scheduled exam dates.

How to download the UGC NET 2026 admit card?
Candidates can download their admit cards by following a few simple steps. First, visit the official UGC NET website at ugcnet.nta.nic.in. Next, click on the 'UGC NET Admit Card 2026' link visible on the homepage. Enter your application number and other required login details. After entering the information, click the submit button. Your admit card will appear on the screen; download it and take a printout to keep safe for future reference.

Keeping more than one printed copy is advisable.

The NTA has advised candidates to keep more than one printed copy of the admit card with them. An extra copy can prove very helpful in situations where the document might get lost or damaged at the last minute.

**Check these details on the admit card**

Before heading to the exam center, candidates should carefully review all the information printed on their admit card. In particular, verify the following details: candidate's name, photograph, exam subject, exam date, exam shift, exam timing, and the name and address of the exam center. If any errors are found in this information, candidates should contact the NTA immediately.

**Exam to be held in two shifts**

The UGC NET June 2026 exam will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode at various centers across the country. The exam will take place in two shifts daily: the first shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the second shift from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Candidates will find details regarding their specific shift on their admit card; therefore, it is essential to check both the exam date and the shift timing.

**What to carry to the exam center?**

Candidates are required to carry certain essential documents to gain entry into the exam center. They must bring a printed copy of the UGC NET 2026 admit card and a valid photo identity proof. Entry to the exam center will not be permitted without the admit card or identity proof.

**Advice to arrive early**

The NTA advises all candidates to reach the exam center well before the scheduled start time. Arriving early facilitates the smooth completion of document verification, security checks, and other formalities. Arriving at the last minute could lead to unnecessary stress and inconvenience.

**Avoid this mistake before the exam**

Candidates often download their admit cards but fail to verify the details printed on them. Even a minor error can turn into a major problem on the day of the exam. Therefore, double-check the exam date, center, shift, and personal details. Additionally, keep the printed copy of the admit card and your identity proof ready a day before the exam.
