Introduction to UGC NET Home Science

UGC NET Home Science is a specialized subject designed to test candidates on the interdisciplinary field of human sciences and life skills. It explores crucial areas such as food and nutrition, human development, textiles, resource management, child care, and community development. The exam evaluates not just theoretical understanding but also practical application of scientific principles to improve family and community well-being.

At ANSS Academy, our structured mock tests align with the latest syllabus and exam trends to help you strategically prepare for UGC NET Home Science 2026.

UGC NET June and December Sessions

The UGC NET exam is conducted twice a year — in June and December — offering two opportunities to candidates to qualify for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Success in either session gives you eligibility for teaching and research roles in universities and colleges.

June Session: Ideal for early preparation and real exam practice.
December Session: More time to revise and attempt advanced questions.

Both sessions follow the same syllabus and pattern, so consistent preparation throughout the year is key.
