Introduction to UGC NET Environmental Science

UGC NET Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary subject that examines the interaction between natural systems and human society, focusing on sustainability, environmental protection, and scientific management of natural resources. It integrates concepts from biology, chemistry, geology, geography, and social sciences to address complex environmental challenges.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of ecological principles, environmental policies, pollution control, climate change, and sustainable development. Aspirants are expected to apply scientific reasoning and data interpretation skills to real-world environmental problems.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Environmental Science mock tests are designed to strengthen conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, and 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 offers candidates an early opportunity to assess their preparation level and become familiar with the scientific and analytical depth of the subject. It helps identify key focus areas such as ecology, environmental chemistry, and policy frameworks.

2. December Session

The December session is generally more competitive and preferred by aspirants aiming for JRF qualification. With additional months for structured preparation, candidates can revise complex topics, practice numerical and case-based questions, and strengthen their exam strategy through repeated mock tests.

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