Introduction to UGC NET Philosophy

UGC NET Philosophy is a core subject that explores the fundamental questions of knowledge, reality, ethics, and human existence. It brings together classical and modern traditions from Indian and Western philosophy, encouraging critical thinking, logical analysis, and reflective reasoning.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, social and political philosophy, and the major schools of Indian and Western thought. Aspirants are expected to interpret philosophical texts, analyze arguments, and apply theoretical concepts to contemporary issues.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Philosophy mock tests are designed to strengthen conceptual clarity, analytical reasoning, 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:

June Session

The June session provides candidates an early opportunity to assess their preparation and become familiar with foundational philosophical concepts such as knowledge, reality, and moral reasoning. It helps identify strengths and areas that require deeper study.

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 major philosophical systems, practice analytical questions, 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.
