The detailed application details, fee payment method, age limit, eligibility criteria, educational qualification, reservation criteria, etc, would be notified shortly.

Recently, the CBSE had written to the UGC that the commission should take charge of conducting the NET exam as it is putting a lot of burden on the Board due to which it is not able to devote time to its expansion plans. As of now, it is the CBSE who will be conducting the UGC NET exam but the scenario might change next year onwards.
