UGC Extends Registration Deadline for UGC NET June 2024 Exam

 In a move that has brought much-needed relief to aspiring lecturers across the country, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the registration deadline for the UGC NET June 2024 exam. This decision comes after receiving numerous requests from candidates seeking more time to complete the application process.

The original deadline, set for May 10th, 2024, has now been extended to May 15th, 2024. This provides candidates with an additional five days to register online at the official UGC NET website https://ugcnet.nta.nic.in/.

Reasons Behind the Extension

While the official announcement from the NTA did not specify the exact reasons for the extension, several factors likely played a role.

• Technical Glitches: There have been reports of technical glitches on the UGC NET website during the initial registration period. This may have prevented some candidates from completing their applications in a timely manner.
• Lack of Awareness: The UGC NET exam is a crucial gateway for aspiring lecturers in India. However, some students, particularly those from rural areas or less privileged backgrounds, may not have been fully aware of the registration process or deadlines.
• Last-Minute Decisions: Some students might have made a late decision to appear for the exam and needed additional time to prepare their application materials.

The extension of the registration deadline has led to a slight revision of the entire UGC NET June 2024 exam schedule. Here's a breakdown of the key dates:

Candidates Rejoice at the Extension

"This extension is a lifesaver!" said Anjali Sharma, a final year post-graduate student from Delhi. "I was struggling to complete my application due to some technical issues on the website. Now, I have the opportunity to submit it properly."

Similar sentiments were echoed by Rohit Kumar, a student from Patna. "I was initially unsure about appearing for the exam this year," he said. "But with this extension, I can now gather the necessary documents and complete the registration process."

Experts' View on the Extension

"This extension will give students a breather and allow them to focus on their studies," said Dr. Amita Singh, a professor at a leading university in Mumbai. "A well-prepared candidate is more likely to succeed in the exam."

However, some experts also cautioned against complacency.

"While the extension is a positive development, students should not waste this precious time," said Dr. Rajeev Verma, a renowned career counselor. "They should utilize this opportunity to complete the application process and begin their exam preparation in earnest."
