The UGC NET 2022 was held in four phases from July to October. The examination took place for the combined cycle of December 2021 and June 2022. The December and June cycles were merged as the December 2021 exam was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. hence the NTA decided to combine the December 2021 and June 2022 cycles to reduce the impact on candidates and to make the exam cycles more consistent.

According to the UGC NET cut-off 2022 notice, the minimum qualifying mark is 40 per cent for the general category and 35 per cent for the reserved category. Based on the government of India’s reservation scheme, the total number of slots will be divided among various categories. The UGC NET is conducted to determine Indian nationals’ eligibility for assistant professor and junior research fellowship positions in universities and colleges.
