Introduction to UGC NET Education

UGC NET Education is a core subject for aspirants aiming to build careers in teaching, academic research, educational administration, and policy development. It focuses on understanding the philosophical, psychological, sociological, and technological foundations of education in both national and global contexts.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s ability to analyze teaching-learning processes, curriculum development, assessment systems, educational research, and contemporary issues in education. A strong grasp of theoretical perspectives combined with practical applications is essential for success in this subject.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Education mock tests are designed to build conceptual clarity, improve analytical writing, and enhance exam confidence for the 2026 cycle.

UGC NET June and December Sessions

The UGC NET examination is conducted twice every year in two major cycles:

1. June Session

The June session provides candidates an early opportunity to evaluate their preparation and understand the academic depth required for the subject. It is especially useful for identifying key areas such as educational psychology, research methodology, and policy frameworks that need focused revision.

2. December Session

The December session is generally more competitive and preferred by candidates aiming for JRF qualification. With additional months for structured study, aspirants can strengthen their understanding of theories, revise policies like NEP, and improve performance through repeated mock test practice.

Both sessions follow the same official syllabus, exam pattern, and marking scheme, making consistent preparation essential.
