Every year, the UGC-NET is held twice. The June 2021 UGC-NET has been deferred due to the postponement of the December 2020 UGC-NET due to COVID-19. To make the UGC-NET examination cycles more consistent, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has combined the December 2020 and June 2021 cycles, with UGC approval, so that they can be held in CBT format concurrently.
