Arriving early at the exam centre is crucial for a smooth check-in. Bring your UGC NET admit card, photo ID, and essential stationery. Leave electronic devices, study materials, and bags behind. Follow COVID-19 guidelines: wear a mask, maintain distance, and sanitize. Listen to the invigilator, follow the rules, and arrange your desk properly. Manage time, allocate sections/questions, and use provided sheets for rough work.
