For the UGC NET Home Science exam, the important dates vary with each cycle, as the exam is typically conducted twice a year (June and December). For example, the application period usually opens a couple of months before the exam month, lasting for about three to four weeks. The admit cards are released approximately ten to fifteen days prior to the exam date. The actual exam for the June session typically falls in the last two weeks of June, while the December session exams are usually in the first two weeks of December. Always refer to the official NTA UGC NET website for the precise and updated schedule.
