150 questions · 300 marks · 3 hours — the real UGC NET pattern · Shared paper + one subject of your choice.
NTA's National Eligibility Test for Assistant Professor / Junior Research Fellowship eligibility at Indian universities. Not one fixed paper — a candidate takes Paper 1 (common to everyone) plus Paper 2, their chosen subject.
Pick one or more subjects, tick the topics you want in each, and choose how many questions you want. You get one combined paper, marked exactly like the real UGC NET exam.
All 9 subjects and 89 topics of UGC NET are laid out, each with its own test, alongside the full-length Mock Test built to the real pattern.
No fixed test calendar. Start with the topic your class covered this week, go back to a weak one, or take the full Mock Test when you're ready.
Each topic shows its status and your best score, so you can see what's done, what's weak and what's still to start.
Strong and weak concepts, your score trend, and how your mock and topic results compare — in one place.
Save & Next, Mark for Review, a question palette and a section timer, laid out like the real computer-based test.
