University Grants Commission

The University Grants Commission is a statutory body created by an Act of Parliament in 1956, working under the Ministry of Education from New Delhi. Its job is the standard of university education rather than the conduct of it: it disburses grants to universities and colleges, recognises institutions, and frames the regulations that set things like the minimum qualifications for appointment as a university teacher. That last one is why UGC-NET exists, though the National Testing Agency has conducted the test on the Commission's behalf since 2018.

We hold no UGC notices yet, so there are no dates on this page. What is above describes the organisation; it is not a record of anything it has published. Its official site is the place to check until that changes.
