Dear Kadamb,
The pattern of the questions and the syllabus from where the UGC NET questions will be set is same as earlier. However, just the mode of the exam, number of papers and the conducting body for UGC NET have changed. From December 2018 onwards, UGC NET would be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA), whereas earlier, the exam would be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Secondly, UGC NET would be held in computer-based mode (CBT) from December onwards, whereas earlier this exam would be held in offline mode. Thirdly, from 2018 onwards, UGC NET is being held for only two papers, while earlier, the exam had 3 papers. Apart from these changes, there is no other change in the exam pattern or syllabus of UGC NET.
