CSIR UGC NET December 2025 Application Correction Window Opens
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has initiated a crucial, one-time correction period for candidates registered for the Joint CSIR UGC NET December 2025 examination. Starting today, October 30, aspirants have a limited window to amend specific details in their submitted application forms. This facility is designed to ensure all information is accurate before the examination process moves forward. The correction portal, accessible on the official website csirnet.nta.nic.in, will remain active until 11:50 PM on November 1, 2025.
This exam is a vital gateway for Indian nationals aspiring to secure Junior Research Fellowships (JRF), positions as Assistant Professors, or admission into PhD programs at universities and colleges nationwide. Officials have emphasized that this is the only opportunity for modifications, and no further requests for changes will be considered after the deadline.
Permitted and Restricted Modifications
While the NTA has provided this opportunity, not all fields in the application are editable. Candidates must be aware of these limitations to use the correction window effectively.
Editable Fields: Applicants can modify personal details such as their date of birth, category (e.g., General, SC, ST), and their father's or mother's name. It's also possible to update contact information like their address and review their educational details. Changes to the preferred exam city are also permitted, though subject to availability.
Non-Editable Fields: Certain core identifiers cannot be altered. These include the candidate's own name, gender, the registered email ID, and mobile number. Furthermore, the initially uploaded photograph and signature are locked and cannot be replaced.
Candidates making changes that affect their application fee, such as switching their category or PwBD status, must pay the differential amount online. The NTA has clarified that any additional fee must be settled for the corrections to be finalized. Conversely, no refunds will be issued if a change results in a lower fee. To make changes, candidates must log into the official portal using their application number and password.
Final Call for Accuracy
The NTA strongly advises all applicants to meticulously review their forms one last time. Since this is a final chance to ensure all particulars are correct, careful attention to detail is paramount. Once the correction window closes on November 1, the submitted information will be considered final for all subsequent stages of the examination.
