UGC-NET vs CSIR-UGC NET

Compared here because they’re both national eligibility tests for university teaching, both run by NTA on UGC's behalf, split only by subject area — humanities and most sciences sit UGC-NET, while chemistry, physics, life sciences, maths and earth sciences sit CSIR-UGC NET instead. Everything below is each exam’s own current facts, side by side rather than merged into one table — the two are run separately, on separate schedules, and presenting them as one row each would flatten a difference that matters.
