Is Aadhar Card mandatory to apply for UGC NET 2018 Exam?

Dear Student,

Greetings.

No, JEE Main 2019 and UGC NET December 2018 registration began earlier this month and the organizing body National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a public notice clarifying that Aadhaar card number is not a mandatory field in the application forms which means that candidates who do not possess a valid Aadhaar UID can register successfully by furnishing any other government issued valid identification proof like bank account number, passport details, ration card number, driving license, voter’s ID, etc.

Thanks for contacting Careers 360!
