Introduction to UGC NET Sociology

UGC NET Sociology is a core social science subject that explores the structure, functioning, and transformation of societies. It examines how social institutions, cultures, and power relations shape human behavior and social change at local, national, and global levels.

The examination evaluates a candidate’s understanding of sociological theory, research methods, social stratification, institutions, development, and contemporary social issues. Aspirants are expected to analyze social processes, interpret empirical data, and apply sociological perspectives to real-world problems.

At ANSS Academy, our UGC NET Sociology 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 sociological concepts such as social structure, culture, and basic research techniques.

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 classical and contemporary theories, practice data-based 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.
