The dates for the submission of forms for the upcoming University Grants Commission (UGC)-National Eligibility Test (NET) exam have been extended to May 30, 2022.
UGC Chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar wrote on Twitter, "In pursuant to representations from the candidates, regarding submission of online application form for UGC-NET December 2021 and June 2022 (merged cycles), it has been decided to extend the last date for submission and fee payment to 30 May 2022."
Kumar further suggested the candidates visit the official website for more details.
The move comes after many NET aspirants complained that the UGC website was having glitches and they were facing problems in completing the application process. Earlier, the last date to apply for UGC-NET was May 20. And on May 21, the portal was open for making corrections to the application form.
The UGC-NET is held twice every year to determine the eligibility of candidates for the posts of assistant professors and junior research fellows in universities and colleges. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Earlier, the NET exam for merged cycles was to be conducted in the first/second week of June 2022.
