| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Check subject fit | Match your master's degree and UGC NET subject with the CALTS list |
| 2. Fill the UOH form | Upload the scorecard, certificates and research proposal |
| 3. Pay application fee | Pay by the last date shown in the admission notice |
| 4. Attend interview | Defend your proposal before the centre panel |
| 5. Join after allotment | Pay the admission fee and finish document check |

| Category | Score range | Round and year |
|---|---|---|
| General | 80 or above | UGC NET route, 2026 |
| OBC-NCL | 75 or above | UGC NET route, 2026 |
| SC | 65 or above | UGC NET route, 2026 |
| ST | 60 or above | UGC NET route, 2026 |
| EWS | 75 or above | UGC NET route, 2026 |
