Breaking Down the Milestones: What You Need to Do
1. The Application Phase (Now – June 7)
The clock
is ticking. You have until June 7, 2026, to complete your online
registration on the official NTA ICAR portal.
- Action Item: Do not wait until the final
evening. High traffic can cause payment gateways or server timeouts.
Gather your academic transcripts, category certificates, scanned
photographs, and signatures beforehand.
2. The Safety Net: Correction Window (June 7 – June
9)
Made a
typo in your graduation marks? Uploaded a blurry thumb impression? NTA provides
a brief 48-hour window right after registration closes to fix minor errors.
- Note: While it’s a lifesaver,
certain primary fields (like your basic identity details and registered
email/phone number) cannot be changed. Double-check everything the first
time!
3. D-Day: The Examination (July 3)
The exams
will be conducted entirely in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across
designated centers nationwide. With admit cards dropping on June 27, you
will have less than a week to finalize your travel logistics if your center is
in another city.
Quick
Tips for Aspirants
- Master's Seekers (AIEEA PG): Focus heavily on core
concepts within your specific major subject group. Time management during
the CBT mode is vital, so start practicing online mock tests now.
- Ph.D. Candidates
(AICE-JRF/SRF):
Remember that securing a high rank doesn't just get you a seat—it directly
determines your eligibility for lucrative Junior/Senior Research
Fellowships ($\text{JRF}/\text{SRF}$) which offer monthly stipends ranging
from ₹37,000 to ₹42,000.
