The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for online registration of the UGC National Eligibility Test June 2026 exam till May 23.
In an official public notice issued on May 20, the agency said the decision was taken after “various representations from candidates” asking for an extension of the application deadline.
The revised schedule gives three more days to aspirants to fill the form.
UGC NET is one of the country’s major eligibility examinations conducted for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), appointment as Assistant Professor, admission to PhD programmes, and admission to PhD-only courses in universities and colleges across India.
According to the revised schedule released by NTA, candidates can now submit their online application forms till May 23, 2026, up to 10 am.
Earlier, the deadline for registration was May 20, 2026. The examination fee payment window has also been extended. Candidates will now be able to pay the application fee till May 23, 2026, up to 11:50 pm.
The agency has further revised the application correction schedule. The correction window, which allows candidates to edit details submitted in their forms, will now remain open from May 25 to May 27, 2026.
Earlier, it was scheduled from May 22 to May 24. Candidates were advised to complete the registration process well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical glitches and heavy traffic on the website.
The NTA has also urged applicants to regularly check the official website for updates regarding examination dates, admit cards, and exam city intimation slips.
