Introduction to UGC NET Public Administration

UGC NET Public Administration is a core social science subject that focuses on the theory and practice of public governance, administrative systems, and policy implementation. It examines how governments and public institutions are organized, how decisions are made, and how public services are delivered to citizens.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of administrative theories, public policy, organizational behavior, human resource management, financial administration, and Indian administrative systems. Aspirants are expected to analyze governance challenges, institutional reforms, and policy outcomes with a critical and research-oriented approach.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Public Administration 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 concepts such as classical administrative theories, bureaucracy, and policy processes.

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 contemporary governance models, administrative reforms, and case-based questions through repeated mock tests.

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