New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has opened the correction window for the joint CSIR-UGC NET December 2026 application form, allowing candidates who applied online to edit specified details from November 10 to 12.
Deadline and Official Website
The last date for corrections is 11:50 pm on November 12, 2026, and no chance will be given afterwards under any circumstances. Candidates can make changes on the official website, csirnet.nta.nic.in. The exam will be held in computer-based test (CBT) mode and will determine eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor, for Assistant Professor with PhD admission, and for PhD admission only.
Details That Cannot Be Changed
Candidates cannot change their mobile number, email ID, permanent and current addresses, or uploaded photograph and signature. In the name, father’s name and mother’s name, only one of the three can be amended.
Details That Can Be Corrected
Candidates may change their date of birth, gender, category, sub-category/PwBD, graduation and postgraduation academic details, and exam subject. They can also modify all four exam city choices, which are based on the permanent and current addresses given at registration.
One-Time Facility and Fee Rules
The NTA has clarified that the correction facility is available only once, and the form freezes after changes are submitted. If a change in category or PwBD status raises the fee, candidates must pay the extra amount by credit card, debit card, net banking or UPI. No refund will be given if the fee decreases or extra payment is made, and changes involving extra fees are valid only after successful payment.
Helpline
For queries, candidates can call the NTA helplines 011-40759000 and 011-69227700 or email csirnet@nta.ac.in. They are advised to check all details carefully before the deadline.
