The UGC NET, conducted by the NTA in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode since December 2018, determines eligibility for Assistant Professorship and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Indian universities and colleges. The award of JRF or eligibility for Assistant Professorship depends on the aggregate performance in Paper I and Paper II of the UGC NET.

Meanwhile, NTA has activated a dedicated facility on the NEET (UG)-2026 registration portal for candidates to submit their bank account details for the processing of examination fee refunds.

The NTA said that the facility has been made available on the NEET-UG registration portal for all candidates eligible for the refund process. It added that candidates must log in using their credentials to access the refund link and submit their bank account details.
