Every date for December 2026 is open until NTA issues the bulletin and the registration notice; this page is updated when it does. Past-cycle dates are fixed and come from NTA notices.</p></div>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7"><strong>On 3 October 2026 NTA had not opened registration or issued an information bulletin for UGC NET December 2026.</strong> The only official date is in NTA's examination calendar of 16 September 2026: UGC NET (December cycle) on 14 to 19 December 2026, with 20 and 21 December as buffer days. NTA calls those dates tentative and says the calendar "does not constitute a notification for any particular examination". Everything else on this page is what NTA actually did in the last five cycles, notice by notice, so you can see how the steps follow each other.</p>

<div style="display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;margin:18px 0"><div style="flex:1 1 140px;background:#fbfaf6;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:10px;padding:12px 14px"><div style="font-size:24px;font-weight:800;color:#171d29;line-height:1.2">14-19 Dec</div><div style="font-size:13px;color:#5b6472;line-height:1.4;margin-top:4px">December 2026 exam window, tentative (NTA calendar, 16.09.2026)</div></div><div style="flex:1 1 140px;background:#fbfaf6;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:10px;padding:12px 14px"><div style="font-size:24px;font-weight:800;color:#171d29;line-height:1.2">Not out</div><div style="font-size:13px;color:#5b6472;line-height:1.4;margin-top:4px">December 2026 bulletin and registration, on 3 Oct 2026</div></div><div style="flex:1 1 140px;background:#fbfaf6;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:10px;padding:12px 14px"><div style="font-size:24px;font-weight:800;color:#171d29;line-height:1.2">6-12 days</div><div style="font-size:13px;color:#5b6472;line-height:1.4;margin-top:4px">city slip before the first exam day, last five cycles</div></div><div style="flex:1 1 140px;background:#fbfaf6;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:10px;padding:12px 14px"><div style="font-size:24px;font-weight:800;color:#171d29;line-height:1.2">22-54 days</div><div style="font-size:13px;color:#5b6472;line-height:1.4;margin-top:4px">last exam day to result, last five cycles</div></div></div><p style="margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#5b6472;margin:-8px 0 18px">Day counts are our arithmetic on the dates printed in NTA notices (see the tables below).</p>

Two more facts set the frame. The Joint CSIR-UGC NET December cycle is in the same calendar on 20 and 21 December 2026, the UGC NET buffer days. And the calendar notice says detailed bulletins and exam notices "will be issued separately at the appropriate time". Last December cycle, registration opened on 7 October 2025 for an exam that began on 31 December; if NTA keeps to its tentative window this year, the gap from today (3 October) to 14 December is 72 days (our arithmetic).

Every date is the one printed in an NTA notice or press release (and, for the June 2024 cancellation, a Ministry of Education press release). Where NTA issued several city-slip and admit-card notices for different exam days, the first is shown.

Three of the last five cycles were disrupted. In June 2024 the pen-and-paper exam of 18 June was cancelled the next day by the Ministry of Education and re-held on computer from 21 August to 5 September 2024. In December 2024 the exam of 15 January 2025 was postponed for Pongal and Makar Sankranti and held on 21 and 27 January. In June 2026 NTA re-conducted English, Commerce and Sociology on 9 and 10 September after a committee found "many factual, typographical, translation errors" and "repetition of a significant number of questions previously administered", with no extra fee.

The split in the planner is our suggestion, weighted roughly by marks; change it to suit you. The two dates are the first and last days of NTA's tentative window, not your exam day, which only your admit card will tell you.
