What is a city intimation slip?

The city intimation slip is not the admit card. It is issued to help candidates know their exam city in advance. This allows them to:

• Plan travel arrangements and accommodation
• Prepare logistics for reaching the exam centre on time
• Avoid last-minute rush or confusion

The slip does not include the exact exam centre address, roll number, or reporting time. These details will be provided on the official admit card.

UGC NET December 2025 session

The UGC NET December 2025 examination will be conducted by the National Testing Agency in computer-based test (CBT) mode from 31 December 2025 to 7 January 2026. The exam will consist of two papers held in a single session of three hours. Paper I will test teaching and research aptitude and will include 50 questions, while Paper II will be subject-specific and will comprise 100 questions. Candidates will be able to check details such as their exact examination centre, roll number, and session timings once the UGC NET December 2025 admit card is released, which is expected a few days before the scheduled exam date.

Guidelines for candidates

Candidates are advised to carefully check all details mentioned on the city intimation slip and contact the National Testing Agency immediately in case of any discrepancy.

It must be noted that the UGC NET admit card is compulsory for entry into the examination centre and no candidate will be allowed to appear for the exam without it.

On the day of the examination, candidates must carry a valid original photo identity proof along with the admit card for verification.

Electronic devices, including mobile phones and smart watches, as well as bags, books, notes, and any other study material, are strictly prohibited inside the examination hall.
