NTA CSIR UGC NET June 2026 Admit Card

NTA CSIR UGC NET June 2026 Admit Card is a admit card release covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 19 June 2026 and a fee of ₹1,150 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 27 May 2026 and close on 19 June 2026, giving candidates 24 days to complete the process. The 24-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (22-23 June 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 17-18 July 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 30 years. On qualifications, the notification states: Chemical Science — M.Sc / Equivalent Degree with 55% Marks for General / OBC Candidates. For SC / ST and PH  Candidates : 50% Marks. Integrated Course and B.E/ B.Tech / B.Pharma and MBBS Candidates Are Also Eligible for CSIR NET 2024. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹325 and ₹1,150, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Check the admit card for the three things candidates most often get wrong: the reporting time (typically well before the exam time), the exact centre address, and the list of permitted items. Carry a printed copy plus the photo ID named on the card — a digital copy on a phone is not accepted at most centres.
