How to Download the CSIR June NET 2026 Admit Card (Once Released)

- Look under the 'Candidate Activity' section for 'Admit Card - Joint CSIR UGC NET June 2026'
- Log in using your Application Number and Password (the one you created during registration - not your date of birth)
- Enter the Security Pin / Captcha and submit
- Your admit card will display on screen - download it and take at least two printouts
Important Note: The login password is the one you created while filling the application form. It is NOT your date of birth. This is a common point of confusion every session, so keep your original registration credentials with you. |
