UGC NET June 2026 Exam Subjects and Codes Published

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the detailed list of subjects for the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) June 2026 session. This notification is essential for candidates planning to apply for JRF or Assistant Professorship, as it provides the standardized subject codes necessary for the registration process. Identifying the correct subject code is the first mandatory step before the application window opens.

The June 2026 cycle continues to cover a wide array of disciplines across Humanities, Social Sciences, Electronic Science, and Forensic Science. Each subject is assigned a unique two-digit or three-digit code that must match the candidate's Master’s degree specialization. Errors in subject selection during the registration phase can lead to disqualification or the issuance of an incorrect question paper on the exam day.

Candidates should review the list to confirm if their specific specialization is included in the current session. While the majority of the 83+ subjects remain consistent, any additions or mergers in interdisciplinary subjects are reflected in this official PDF. After verifying the code, applicants are encouraged to download the updated syllabus for their specific subject from the UGC NET portal to align their preparation with the latest curriculum standards.

The NTA has emphasized that the subject codes listed for June 2026 are also utilized by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for certain joint examinations. Candidates must ensure they do not confuse the UGC NET Humanities codes with CSIR Science codes during the final submission. The computer-based test environment will automatically load the syllabus based on these specific codes, meaning any error at this stage will persist through the entire examination cycle.

Refer to the official NTA notification for the complete list of 2026 exam subjects.

NaukriSync Takeaway

For the UGC NET June 2026 cycle, candidates must cross-verify their PG degree name with the NTA subject list code before starting the application. A frequent mistake is selecting a general field instead of the specific specialization, which cannot be changed after the correction window closes. Ensure your chosen subject is also available in your preferred regional exam center before final submission to avoid long-distance travel during the test week.
