The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the UGC NET June 2025 City Intimation Slip very soon on its official website, ugcnet.nta.ac.in. This document is a crucial step in the examination process as it informs candidates about the city where their UGC NET exam centre will be located. While it does not replace the official admit card, the city intimation slip allows candidates to make necessary travel arrangements well in advance of the examination dates. It provides advance information regarding the city of the exam centre, including the name and address of the exam venue. However, candidates must wait for the actual admit card to know the exact reporting time, gate closing time, and exam instructions.

The UGC NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) is conducted to determine the eligibility of Indian nationals for the post of ‘Assistant Professor’ as well as ‘Junior Research Fellowship and Assistant Professor’ in Indian universities and colleges. It is conducted by the NTA in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. The June 2025 cycle of the exam is tentatively scheduled to be held between June 21 and June 30, 2025.

The examination process began earlier this year, with the application window for UGC NET June 2025 opening on April 16 and closing on May 7, 2025. Candidates who successfully registered during this period will be eligible to receive the city intimation slip and the subsequent admit card. The city intimation slip is typically issued about a week before the exam. Although the exact date for its release has not yet been confirmed, aspirants are advised to stay alert and monitor the official website closely for timely updates.

To access the city intimation slip, candidates will need to log in to the NTA’s official portal. Once the slip is released, a direct link labeled “UGC NET 2025 City Slip” will appear on the homepage. Upon clicking this link, candidates must enter their Application Number, Date of Birth, and the Security Pin shown on the screen to log in. After logging in, they can view, download, and save the city intimation slip for future reference. It is advisable for all candidates to keep both digital and printed copies of the slip.

The city intimation slip should not be confused with the UGC NET admit card. While the slip gives an overview of the exam city, the admit card provides complete details such as the name of the examination centre, reporting time, shift timing, exam day instructions, and candidate-specific guidelines. The admit card will be released shortly after the city intimation slip and will be available for download from the same portal. Without the admit card, candidates will not be allowed to enter the examination centre. It is mandatory to carry a printed copy of the admit card along with a valid photo ID proof to the exam venue.

Candidates are strongly encouraged to regularly visit the official website — ugcnet.nta.ac.in — and keep an eye on the ‘Latest News’ and ‘Notifications’ sections. NTA often provides real-time updates and important announcements through these sections. It is also helpful to bookmark the site for quicker access and to refresh the notifications tab frequently in the days leading up to the exam.

As the exam dates approach, candidates should not only track updates regarding the city slip and admit card but also ensure they are well-prepared for the test. With multiple shifts scheduled over a span of nearly ten days, understanding the exam pattern, practicing previous years’ question papers, and managing time efficiently will be key to success.

In conclusion, the release of the UGC NET June 2025 City Intimation Slip marks an important milestone in the lead-up to the national eligibility exam. It serves as an early alert system for candidates to prepare travel and logistics. While it doesn’t carry exam-day specifics like the admit card does, it is a crucial document that should not be overlooked. With the exam window expected to begin from June 21, candidates should gear up for the final stretch of preparation, stay vigilant for NTA notifications, and download all necessary documents as soon as they are made available.
