It may be noted that National Testing Agency (NTA), the conducting body for the exam, has not given any update regarding the new CSIR NET 2020 exam date yet. However, if CSIR NET is being rescheduled in November, it is expected that UGC NET 2020 will also be conducted by NTA in the same month.

Earlier, CSIR NET exam was scheduled to be conducted by NTA on June 21, 2020. Also, UGC NET 2020 exam was scheduled to be conducted from June 15-20. However, both the exams were postponed by NTA due to the rising number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases across the country.

NTA conducts both UGC NET and CSIR NET exams to determine the eligibility of candidates for lectureship and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Indian colleges and universities. The difference between both the exams (UGC NET and CSIR NET) is that CSIR NET is conducted for only five Science subjects and UGC NET is conducted for 81 subjects from streams such as Humanities, Law, etc.
