IASLIC (Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres) welcomes and appreciates the following decision of UGC for Submission of NET Application in Off-Line Mode. We express our heartfelt thanks to UGC for issuing such an important order to help LIS students. “Due to unprecedented increase in the number of candidates willing to apply during the last days of online registration for the ensuing NET examination scheduled to be held on 24th June, 2012, it has been observed that the students are facing difficulty in submitting online application. In order to overcome this problem and keeping in view the paucity of time, UGC has decided that such candidates, who have paid the prescribed fee through Bank Challan by the due date, i.e., 2nd May, 2012 and are not able to submit their application online, may now apply in offline mode. They are, therefore, advised to download the Application Form (to be filled in duplicate), Admission Card and Attendance Slip from www.ugcnetonline.in and also from www.ugc.ac.in. The last date for submitting the hard copies of duly filled in applications along with original fee receipt & attested copies of category certificate(s), has now been extended up to May 10, 2012. NOTE: It may be noted that all such candidates who have already registered themselves successfully in online mode and have submitted the hard copies of the application to the chosen centre NEED NOT APPLY AGAIN THROUGH OFFLINE MODE.” CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD OFFLINE APPLICATION FORM http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/offline_application_form-net.pdf ========================================================================================================== পীযূষকান্তি পাণিগ্রাহী Dr Pijushkanti Panigrahi, Professor & Head, Dept of Lib and Inf Science, 3rd Floor Asutosh Building, University of Calcutta, 87/1 College Street,Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal, India, email : panigrahipk@yahoo.com, panigrahipk11@gmail.com, (M) : +91 94342 43522.

I know a few of our students have spent about 10 hrs (night 12 to 10 am ) for the purpose. Just you think amount of time spent by applicants as a whole. UGC must take appropriate decisions. If possible a slower system should be replaced by a capable faster system. regards ========================================================================================================== পীযূষকান্তি পাণিগ্রাহী Dr Pijushkanti Panigrahi, Professor & Head, Dept of Lib and Inf Science, 3rd Floor Asutosh Building, University of Calcutta, 87/1 College Street,Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal, India, email : panigrahipk@yahoo.com, panigrahipk11@gmail.com, (M) : +91 94342 43522.

The very interesting thing is that Qualifying UGC NET is more easy compared to the submission of NET online submission... I request, who have access to UGC head qtrs should try to extend the date at least up to 5th May .
