This crucial step comes ahead of the highly anticipated exam that determines eligibility for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor positions, and PhD admissions.
The correction window is brief, running from November 10 to November 12, 2025, and candidates are urged to act promptly to ensure their information is accurate.
Certain fields are editable, while others remain fixed, making this window a key phase in the UGC NET journey.
EDITABLE FIELDS IN UGC NET APPLICATIONS
Candidates can make corrections in the following sections of their application:
- Date of birth: Correct any discrepancies to match official documents.
- Category: Update the category details if entered incorrectly.
- Parents’ names: Amend father’s and mother’s names as required.
Errors in these fields can impact eligibility, merit calculation, and future admissions, making timely corrections essential.
HOW TO MAKE CORRECTIONS ONLINE
Candidates can follow these steps to update their application:
1. Log in to the official NTA UGC NET portal using your credentials.
2. Carefully review all submitted information.
3. Make changes only in the editable fields.
4. Submit the updated form and download or screenshot the confirmation.
5. Contact the NTA helpdesk immediately if any non-editable fields were entered incorrectly.
CITY SLIP AND ADMIT CARD: KEY DOCUMENTS FOR UGC NET 2025
Once corrections are submitted, candidates will receive their city slip, confirming the exam city allocated for the December 2025 session. This slip is crucial, as exam centres are assigned based on this information, and changes are generally not allowed after the correction period ends.
The admit card will be released online on the official NTA UGC NET portal a few weeks before the exam, typically in December 2025.
Candidates must download it using their login credentials, verify all details, and carry it along with a valid photo ID to the examination hall. Entry without the admit card will not be permitted.
With the correction window open for only a few days, candidates are urged to carefully review and update their application details. Ensuring accuracy now can save time and complications later, keeping the path to JRF, Assistant Professor roles, and PhD admissions smooth.
