Generally, the National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the NET twice a year. But in the previous years, the scheduling has been unregularized because of the covid Pandemic. The last NTA UGC NET examination was conducted in November for the Merged Cycle of December 2020 and June 2021. The Examination is conducted in one shift of 3 hrs and the student has to solve 150 questions in total. The NTA UGC NET examination has no negative markings.

Over Twitter, there is an outcry that the date announced by the UGC Chairman is unfair, because of the gap of one month between the two stages. Evidently, candidates have begun a Twitter trend asking the UGC and NTA to schedule the complete examination in the month of August.
