A new update has been shared for candidates preparing for the UGC NET December 2025 examination. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made the exam city slip available for this session. This slip helps candidates know which city their exam will be held in, so they can plan travel in advance.
The exam is planned to take place from 31 December 2025 to 07 January 2026. The city slip can be checked online through the official website ugcnet.nta.nic.in.
What Information Does the Exam City Slip Show?
The exam city slip only tells candidates the name of the city where their exam centre will be located. It does not mention the exact exam centre address or reporting time.
To view the slip, candidates need their application number and date of birth.

City Slip vs Admit Card: What Is the Difference?
The city slip is not the admit card. It is only an advance notice to inform candidates about the exam city.
The UGC NET admit card will be released separately, usually a few days before the exam. The admit card will include:
- Exact exam centre address
- Reporting time
- Exam instructions
Candidates should carefully check all details on the admit card once it is released.
Details to Check on the Admit Card
When the admit card becomes available, candidates should verify:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Application number
- Category
- Subject
- Exam city
- Photograph and signature
If any detail looks incorrect, candidates should contact the concerned authority immediately.
Is the City Slip Required on Exam Day?
Candidates do not need to carry the city slip to the exam centre. On the exam day, the following items are required:
- Printed UGC NET admit card
- Self-declaration form
- One valid photo ID
- Ballpoint pen
- One passport-size photograph
- Personal hand sanitiser
- Transparent water bottle
These items must be carried as per exam instructions.
Important Update About Exam Shift
NTA has confirmed that the UGC NET exam on 31 December 2025 will be held in one shift only. The timing for that day will be 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, and no second shift will be conducted.
Conclusion
The release of the UGC NET December 2025 exam city slip allows candidates to plan their travel ahead of time. Candidates should download the slip, wait for the admit card release, and regularly check ugcnet.nta.nic.in for further updates related to exam centre details and instructions.
