The NTA on Wednesday released the city intimation slip for the University Grants Commission–National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) 2026. Registered candidates can now check and download the slip through ugcnet.nta.nic.in.

The students need to enter the application number and password to access the city intimation slip.

The city slip informs candidates about the city in which their examination centre will be located, allowing them to make travel and accommodation arrangements in advance. However, it is not the admit card and cannot be used as a document for entry into the examination centre.

Computer based UGC NET 2026 will be held from June 22 to June 30, 2026, in two shifts each day.

UGC NET is a national-level eligibility examination conducted to determine candidates’ eligibility for:

  • Assistant Professor posts in universities and colleges
  • Junior Research Fellowship (JRF)
  • Admission to PhD programmes in participating institutions

It must be noted that a city intimation slip is different from admit card. The UGC NET 2026 admit card, containing details such as the exact examination centre address, reporting time and exam-day instructions, will be issued separately by the NTA closer to the examination date.
