What after online registration?
After submitting the UGC NET December 2025 application and paying the fee, candidates should wait for several key updates from the official portal. First, the exam city intimation slip will be released. Then, NTA will issue the admit card, which must be downloaded and kept safely, as it contains the exam date, centre, and shift details. It is important to keep your login credentials, such as the application number and password, secure for accessing all these updates. Once results are out, candidates who qualify for JRF or Assistant Professor must follow the next steps as per their university or employer, which may include certificate verification, fellowship allotment, or appointment postings.
