The National Testing Agency (NTA) revises the UGC NET December 2026 information bulletin, issuing a corrigendum on October 16 with updated exam rules and instructions. Candidates are advised to review the revised bulletin and follow the latest procedures before applying and appearing for the examination.

Reporting across outlets indicates the updates cover multiple parts of the exam process. Changes are described as including examination rules, evaluation-related details, options for city preferences, footwear guidance, gate closing times, and payment gateway charges. The NTA also sets the exam schedule for December 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 21, with city slips scheduled for November 23 and admit cards due on December 7. Applications are reported to close on October 28, with late-fee submissions allowed until October 31.

Outlets broadly align on the core message that the information brochure is updated and the testing timeline is specified, though they emphasize different subsets of the changes, with some focusing more on the notice itself and others listing the practical schedule and application deadlines.
