UGC NET December 2025 City Slip to Be Released Soon: What Aspirants Should Know

Candidates preparing for the UGC NET December 2025 exam can expect an important update soon. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to release the city intimation slip for the upcoming session on its official website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. 

This slip will inform candidates about the city where their examination centre has been allotted. While it does not allow entry into the exam hall, it serves as an early notification to help candidates plan travel and stay well in advance.

UGC NET December 2025 Exam Schedule

The UGC NET December 2025 examination is scheduled to be conducted between December 31, 2025, and January 7, 2026. With the exam period coinciding with the year-end holiday season, knowing the exam city ahead of time can significantly reduce last-minute stress, especially for candidates travelling from different states.

The city intimation slip is usually released around 10 days before the exam begins, giving aspirants a reasonable window to prepare their logistics.

Why the City Slip Is Important

Many candidates confuse the city slip with the admit card, but the two serve different purposes.

• The city slip only mentions the exam city, not the exact centre

• It helps candidates plan travel and accommodation early

• The admit card, released later, will include the full address, exam date, shift timing, and reporting instructions

In short, the city slip is a planning tool, while the admit card is mandatory for exam entry.

How to Download the City Intimation Slip

Once released, candidates can follow these steps:

1. Visit ugcnet.nta.nic.in

2. Click on the link for “UGC NET December 2025 City Intimation Slip”

4. View and download the slip

What to Expect Next

After the city slip is issued, NTA will release the UGC NET December 2025 admit card a few days before the exam. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates and ensure their login details are handy.

For now, staying alert and planning ahead based on the city slip can make the exam journey a little less overwhelming.
