The National Testing Agency (NTA) has clarified that the Aadhaar Card is not mandatory for candidates registering for the UGC NET June 2026 examination. Instead, applicants can use alternative identity documents such as PAN Cards and Driving Licences, which can be verified through the DigiLocker facility. This decision comes in response to concerns raised by applicants regarding Aadhaar verification issues. The registration process for UGC NET June 2026 is set to close today, May 20, at 11:50 pm, and candidates are urged to complete both their registration and fee payment before the deadline to avoid any technical difficulties. NTA has emphasized the importance of reviewing all personal and academic details before submission. The UGC NET examination is essential for determining eligibility for Assistant Professor positions and for admission into PhD programmes across various universities in India.
