UGC NET December 2025 correction window opens tomorrow: Check list of editable fields and how to make corrections

The National Testing Agency (NTA) will open the application correction window for the UGC NET December 2025 session tomorrow, providing candidates a last opportunity to correct mistakes in their submitted forms. This step is crucial as the exam determines eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor roles, and PhD admissions.

The correction period is brief, from 10 November to 12 November 2025. Certain fields can be edited, while others are strictly non-editable. Ensuring accuracy is vital to avoid issues during eligibility verification or future admissions processes, making this correction window an important phase in the UGC NET journey.
UGC NET application: Editable fieldsCandidates can make changes in the following sections of their application:

• Date of Birth: Correct any errors in the birth date to match official documents.
  
• Category: Update category details if entered incorrectly.
  
• Parents’ Names: Amend the names of father and mother as required.

These edits are critical as incorrect information in these fields can affect eligibility or merit calculation.
Non-editable fieldsThe following details cannot be changed through the correction window:

• Name
  
• Gender
  
• Photograph
  
• Signature
  
• Mobile Number
  
• Email Address
  
• Permanent Address

If there are mistakes in any of these fields, candidates must contact the NTA helpdesk immediately to explore possible remedies.
How to make corrections onlineOnce the application correction begins for UGC NET, candidates will be able to submit changes by following the steps below:

Log in to the official NTA UGC NET portal using credentials.

Carefully review all submitted information.

Make corrections only in editable fields.

Submit the updated form and download/keep a screenshot of the confirmation.

Contact the NTA helpdesk if any non-editable fields were entered incorrectly.

UGC NET 2025 city slip and admit cardAfter completing the application and correction process, candidates will receive their city slip, which confirms the exam city allotted for the UGC NET December 2025 examination. This slip is important because the exam center will be allocated based on this information, and no changes are generally allowed after the correction window closes.

The admit card is a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall. It will be released online on the official NTA UGC NET portal a few weeks before the exam, typically in December 2025. Candidates must download it using their login credentials, verify all details, and carry a valid photo ID along with the admit card on the day of the exam.
