It’s worth noting that the UGC-NET examination will be conducted exclusively in OMR-based mode. The question paper will be available in English and Hindi, except for language papers.
Moreover, the test will comprise two papers, both featuring objective-type multiple choice questions. There will be no intermission between the papers, and each paper will have a duration of 3 hours.
