Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2025 exam to be held in a single day: No normalization process this time; NTA schedules exam for July 28
NEW DELHI: The Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2025 exam will be conducted in a single shift this time. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a notification confirming that the exam will be held on July 28 in a single-day format. Earlier, the exam was scheduled to be held over three days—July 26, 27, and 28. Since multiple days would have required a normalization process , the new decision eliminates that need.
According to NTA sources, wherever possible, the agency is attempting to conduct exams in a single shift to do away with the normalization procedure entirely.
The notification also states that the original three-day schedule was revised after receiving requests from candidates. Many aspirants had pointed out that the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) is also scheduled for July 26 and 27, and several of them had applied for both exams. Responding to this, the NTA decided to conduct exams for all five CSIR-UGC NET subjects on a single day.
The subjects under the CSIR-UGC NET include Mathematical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. Candidates apply for one of these subjects, with Life Sciences receiving the highest number of applications. This year, around 1.95 lakh candidates have registered for the exam.
The test will be held in two shifts on July 28: from 9 AM to 12 noon, and from 3 PM to 6 PM. Two subjects will likely be conducted in the first shift, and the remaining three in the second.
The advance city intimation slip is expected to be released around July 20.
