CBSE UGC NET 2018 is expected to get a bigger response from JRF and Assistant Professor aspirants given the relaxation in age, introduced from this year. Also, a lot of candidates resort to registration on the last days causing a major load of traffic on the servers, which slows down the website response. Interested candidates must apply for the NET July 2018 exam now to avoid any last minute server issues.
