Whereas that for the science subjects, CSIR NET, will be held on December 15, 2019.
NTA also provides helpdesk number 0120 6895200. With that being one point of contact, the other is the query redressal system (QRS) available at candidate login.
These national level eligibility tests have been conducted for long in India. However NTA took over the responsibility of conducting the UGC NET in December 2018. Whereas the December 2019 exam is the first time that the agency is also conducting CSIR NET. From here onwards, the National Testing Agency only will be looking after these exams. However distribution of fellowship or any process post results is not the onus of the agency.
