NTA has added four new exam centres for UGC NET June 2026 in Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Meghalaya while also allowing North-East candidates to choose exam cities in neighbouring states through the correction window.

New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has added four examination centres for the UGC NET June 2026 examination and expanded city choice options for candidates from the North-East.

The decision comes after concerns were raised over the limited availability of examination centres in several North-Eastern states. The agency said candidates from the region will now have greater flexibility while selecting their preferred examination cities through the correction window.

UGC NET is conducted to determine the eligibility of Indian nationals for the award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), appointment as Assistant Professor, admission to PhD programmes, or both, in universities and colleges across India.

The online application process for the June 2026 session was held from April 29 to May 24, 2026. The correction portal has been opened to allow candidates to make changes in their application forms, including updating their city preferences.
