NTA extends Joint CSIR-UGC NET December 2026 registration deadline to November 9

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the application deadline for the Joint CSIR-UGC NET examination scheduled for December 2026. According to an update, candidates now have until November 9, 2026, to submit their application forms, with the last submission time being 11:50 pm, without incurring a late fee. As of now, 2,23,395 registrations have been received, and among these, 1,76,616 candidates have already paid the examination fee.

The NTA has urged applicants to finalize the fee payment process by the revised deadline and download the confirmation page upon successful submission. Candidates who have registered but not paid the fee are required to complete the payment process before the extended deadline to ensure their applications are considered complete.

This extension offers additional time to candidates who were unable to meet the earlier registration deadline. Applicants are advised to visit the official CSIR UGC NET website to submit their forms and stay updated on further examination-related information.
