The NTA has issued travel advisories and exam guidelines for students appearing for the exam. Candidates should review and follow the NTA guidelines to ensure a smooth exam day. Let us look at the details in this article.

Mandatory Items
All students appearing for the UGC NET exam must carry their admit card and a valid identity proof—such as an Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID card, passport, or driving license. If you arrive at the exam centre without your admit card and identity proof, you will not be allowed to take the exam.
Important Rules
On exam day, you must carry a sanitiser and a transparent water bottle. Electronic gadgets of any kind are strictly prohibited inside the exam centre.
