Here is how to know your UGC NET exam centre:
The screen will display only the Name of the City and State where your exam centre is located. The exact venue and address will only be available on the final UGC NET Hall Ticket.
- Visit the Link: Go to the official NTA City Intimation portal.
- Login Credentials: Enter your Application Number and Password.
- Security Pin: Type the security pin (captcha) exactly as shown.
