UGC NET December 2026 Registration: Fix Live Photo Issues Before October 28

Applicants facing trouble while taking the live photograph should use a well-lit setting. Their face should be clearly visible, the background should have enough light, and no other person should appear in the camera frame.

If the problem remains, applicants can clear the browser cache, use another browser or open a private browsing window. They should then reopen the form and try the photograph step again.

The UGC NET December 2026 registration window will remain open until October 28, 2026. Candidates who have not submitted an application should complete the form, pay the fee online and download the confirmation page.

The agency reported that 186301 candidates had registered by October 22. Applicants should keep a printed copy of the submitted confirmation page for future use.

Applicants from the General or General-EWS categories need 55% marks in a master's degree or an equivalent qualification recognised by UGC. The percentage is considered without rounding. Students still pursuing the qualifying course, awaiting their final-year result or affected by a delayed qualifying examination can also apply.

The application fee is ₹1150 for General or Unreserved candidates, ₹600 for General-EWS or OBC-NCL candidates, and ₹325 for SC, ST, PwD or Third Gender candidates.

Open the official website and select the UGC NET December 2026 registration option. Create an account, complete the application form, pay the fee online and submit the details.

After submission, download the confirmation page and keep its hard copy. Check the live photograph before moving ahead if the camera capture has caused problems.
