Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!A wrong date of birth, a mistyped category or the wrong subject in a CSIR-UGC NET form can cost a candidate the exam day, or the fellowship later. That is why the correction window matters, and why this one is unusually short: three days, one attempt.
This report sets out the last date, the fields that can be edited, the fee rules and the steps on the official portal, and marks where the reports reviewed differ.
CSIR-UGC NET December 2026 Correction Window Closes on 12 November at 11:50 PM
The National Testing Agency opened the correction facility for the CSIR-UGC NET December 2026 application on 10 November, and it stays open until 11:50 PM on 12 November, reports Dainik Jagran English. It is meant only for candidates who have already submitted the form. A fresh registration cannot be made now.
The detail that matters most is that the window gives just one opportunity. Once the corrected form is submitted, no further change is allowed, so every edit should be decided before pressing the final button.
Important Dates at a Glance
| Stage | Date |
|---|---|
| Regular registration and fee payment closed | 5 November 2026, 11:50 PM |
| Late-fee window | 6 to 9 November 2026 |
| Correction window | 10 to 12 November 2026, up to 11:50 PM |
| Examination | 19, 22 and 27 December 2026 |
| City intimation slip and admit card | To be announced |
The registration and late-fee dates come from a Careerindia report, and the city slip and admit card dates were not available in any report reviewed. Candidates should watch the NTA and CSIR NET websites for them.
Editable Fields: What Can Be Changed in the CSIR NET Application
Only the fields that NTA switches on can be edited, and the two reports reviewed for this article do not list them identically. The overlap is clear, and the differences are marked below.
| Field | Editable? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Name, father’s name or mother’s name | Yes, but only one of the three | Both reports agree |
| Date of birth and gender | Yes | Both reports agree |
| Category and sub-category | Yes | May change the fee |
| PwBD status | Yes, with conditions | Not editable if verified through the UDID portal, per one report |
| Graduation and postgraduate details | Yes | Both reports agree |
| Subject opted for the exam | Yes | Both reports agree |
| Exam city preferences | Yes, subject to NTA conditions | Listed in one report only |
| Nationality and state or country of residence | Yes | Listed in one report only |
The window that NTA shows after login is the final word on what is open for a particular candidate.
Details That Stay Locked
The registered mobile number, the registered email address and the permanent and present addresses cannot be changed. One report adds the photograph and signature to the locked list. Since these are the contact details NTA uses for the admit card and exam communication, a candidate who has lost access to the email or mobile should raise it through the contact details printed in the official Information Bulletin rather than hoping a correction will fix it.
When an Extra Fee Applies After Correction
Corrections that change the applicable fee category can trigger a payment of the difference. Changing the category or PwBD status are the usual examples. The difference has to be paid online before the corrected form is submitted, and a fee already paid in excess is not refunded, according to Careerindia.
| Category | Application fee |
|---|---|
| General | ₹1,150 |
| General-EWS and OBC-NCL | ₹600 |
| SC, ST, PwD and third gender | ₹325 |
| Late fee (6 to 9 November), additional | ₹500 |
Bank or gateway charges come on top, as reported. These figures are secondary-source numbers and should be matched with the fee shown on the correction page.
How to Make the Correction on csirnet.nta.nic.in
- Open the official site. Type csirnet.nta.nic.in in the browser and open the correction link shown on the home page.
- Log in. Use the application number, password and captcha created during registration.
- Edit only what is needed. Change the fields that are open and double-check each new entry against the certificate or marksheet.
- Preview the form. Read the whole preview, because the correction cannot be reopened afterwards.
- Pay any fee difference. Use the payment options on the portal and do not resubmit while a payment shows pending.
- Submit and download. Save the updated confirmation page and the payment receipt.
Before Pressing Final Submit: Mistakes That Cannot Be Undone
- Correcting one detail now and discovering a second error later. The facility works only once.
- Changing the category without a valid certificate, which can lead to rejection at verification.
- Choosing a different subject without checking the eligibility conditions in the Information Bulletin.
- Waiting for the last evening, when the portal can slow down at the 11:50 PM deadline.
- Skipping the confirmation page download after submission.
- Sharing the password or an OTP with a cyber cafe or a social-media “helper”.
After the Window Closes: City Slip, Admit Card and Exam Days
No date has been announced for the advance city intimation slip or the admit card. The examination is scheduled for 19, 22 and 27 December 2026, and the notice mentions more than one shift on exam days. Details of the subject-wise schedule will appear on the portal.
