Introduction to UGC NET Mass Communication and Journalism

UGC NET Mass Communication and Journalism is an interdisciplinary subject that examines the theories, practices, and social impact of media and communication. It covers traditional and digital media platforms, journalistic ethics, media laws, communication research, and the role of mass media in shaping public opinion and democracy.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of communication models, news production processes, media institutions, regulatory frameworks, and contemporary trends such as digital journalism and social media communication. Aspirants are expected to analyze media content, case studies, and policy developments with a critical perspective.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Mass Communication and Journalism mock tests are designed to strengthen conceptual clarity, practical understanding, 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 provides candidates an early opportunity to assess their preparation and become familiar with the theoretical foundations and practical dimensions of media studies. It helps identify focus areas such as communication theories, news writing, and media ethics.

2. December Session

The December session is generally more competitive and preferred by aspirants aiming for JRF qualification. With additional months for structured study, candidates can revise advanced concepts, analyze current media trends, and refine their exam strategy through repeated mock tests.

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