UGC NET June 2026 Re-Exam Notice

UGC NET Re-Exam 2026 Announced for Three Subjects

NTA will reconduct the UGC NET June 2026 examination for three subjects — English, Commerce and Sociology. The re-examination has been scheduled for September 9 and September 10, 2026.

Candidates belonging to these subjects should carefully check the official re-examination notice to determine the date and shift applicable to them. Since the re-exam is being held separately from the original June schedule, candidates should follow the fresh instructions issued specifically for the September examination.

The examination will continue to be conducted in Computer-Based Test mode. Candidates should not rely solely on their earlier June examination information and must check the fresh admit card when it becomes available.

UGC NET June 2026 Important Dates

The application process for UGC NET June 2026 started on April 29. The examination city intimation slip for the original examination was issued on June 10, followed by the admit card on June 17.

The main examination was held across several dates in June. NTA has now fixed September 9 and 10 for the re-examination of the three affected subjects.

Which Subjects Will Have UGC NET Re-Exam?

The September re-examination covers three subjects: English, Commerce and Sociology. Candidates who appeared under these subjects and are covered by the NTA notice should check their fresh examination schedule carefully.

Candidates should check the official NTA notice and their fresh admit card for the exact subject-wise date, shift and reporting time.

UGC NET June 2026 Exam Mode

The UGC NET examination is conducted as a Computer-Based Test. Candidates appearing in the September re-examination will therefore take the examination at an allotted computer-based test centre.

UGC NET is used to determine eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship and Assistant Professor, along with Ph.D. admission eligibility under the applicable UGC rules.

Candidates should follow the same examination discipline and security requirements prescribed by NTA, along with any additional directions issued specifically for the re-examination.

UGC NET Re-Exam Admit Card 2026

The fresh admit card for the September re-examination is expected to be issued separately for affected candidates. The earlier admit card released on June 17 related to the original June examination schedule.

Candidates should therefore watch the official NTA UGC NET portal for the re-exam call letter rather than assuming that the earlier hall ticket will automatically apply to the September test.

Once released, candidates will generally need their application credentials to access the admit card. They should download and print the fresh document well before their allotted examination date.

Details to Check on UGC NET Re-Exam Admit Card

After downloading the fresh admit card, candidates should carefully verify all personal and examination-related information. The hall ticket is expected to contain details including the candidate’s name, roll number, application number, photograph and signature.

Candidates should also check the subject name, examination date, shift timing, reporting time and complete examination centre address. Instructions printed on the admit card should be read carefully before reporting to the centre.

If there is any significant discrepancy in candidate or examination information, applicants should follow NTA’s prescribed procedure for seeking assistance.

UGC NET Exam City Information

For the original June examination, NTA released the examination city intimation slip on June 10. The city slip helped candidates know the city in which their examination centre would be located before the admit card was issued.

Candidates covered by the September re-examination should check whether NTA issues fresh city intimation information for the revised test. The city slip, where issued, should not be confused with the admit card because the hall ticket contains the detailed examination centre and reporting information required for the test.

They should also keep their application credentials and required examination documents ready.

Affected candidates are advised to regularly check the official NTA UGC NET portal for the re-exam city slip, admit card and any change in schedule.
