As per the official schedule, the CSIR UGC NET December 2025 examination is scheduled for December 18 and will be conducted in two sessions: Shift 1 from 9 am to 12 noon and Shift 2 from 3 pm to 6 pm. The subjects included in this session are Life Sciences, Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and Planetary Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, and Physical Sciences.

On the other hand, NTA has yet to release the detailed schedule for the UGC NET December session exam. The correction window has been closed by the Agency.

Also, the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, 2025, which seeks to set up an umbrella body with three councils to perform regulatory, standard-setting and accreditation functions for higher education, does not provide any grant-giving powers to its regulatory council.

The Bill, likely to be introduced in Parliament in the ongoing session, also does not give the regulatory council the power to regulate fees in higher education institutions while tasking it with developing a policy to “prevent commercialisation of higher education.”
