Introduction to UGC NET Social Work

UGC NET Social Work is a professional and academic subject that focuses on the principles, methods, and practices of promoting social justice, human well-being, and community development. It integrates knowledge from sociology, psychology, public policy, and development studies to address social problems at individual, group, and societal levels.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of social work theories, methods of intervention, social welfare administration, research methodology, and ethics. Aspirants are expected to analyze social issues, evaluate welfare programs, and apply professional skills to real-world community and institutional settings.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Social Work mock tests are designed to strengthen conceptual clarity, applied 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 social work values, casework methods, and community organization.

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 social policies, research techniques, and intervention strategies through repeated mock tests.

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