UGC NET December 2025: NTA To Release City Intimation Slip Soon, Exam Starts December 31

The National Testing Agency is expected to unveil the UGC NET December 2025 city allotment slip shortly giving the candidates a first clear update before the examination cycle. Basically, the slip tells the candidates the city in which they will take the exam so that they can plan their travels well in advance of the test window which is from December 31, 2025, to January 7, 2026. Even though the city slip is not the admit card, it usually helps a great deal in confusion being less for those students who might have to take the test out of their home state or in a heavily populated metro area.

Expected date of release

If one considers NTA's trend from earlier NET cycles, the release of the city slip for the December 2025 exam should be around December 21, 2025. The agency generally makes it available about 10 days before the test. Any alterations to this schedule will be communicated by a new notice from NTA on its official platforms.

Details on the CUET 2025 City Intimation slip

The slip will only reveal the exam city and nothing else. It won’t indicate the exact exam centre, the reporting time, or the room details, that information comes later on the admit card. This early slip's sole purpose is to inform students where they will be so that they can plan accordingly.

How to download UGC NET 2025 City Intimation Slip

Upon release, candidates can access the link from either of the following two official websites:

• ugcnet.nta.nic.in
• nta.ac.in

NTA will place the download link right on the homepage. Candidates are recommended to not try their luck on some random third, party site, as official links are always the most reliable.

Admit card will be released later

After NTA has published the city slip, it will eventually issue the UGC NET admit card, which is the document that contains all the necessary details for the exam day, the exact address of the test centre, shift timings, candidate details, and instructions. Usually, the admit card is available only a few days prior to the exam.

Candidates are encouraged to keep a regular check on the official website to ensure that they are up, to, date with the latest notices as the day of the exam gets nearer.
