Overview
- The National Testing Agency has not given a release date for the June 2026 provisional answer key, leaving candidates waiting more than a month after the exams ended.
- When published the NTA will post the provisional answer key, each candidate’s recorded responses and the question paper on ugcnet.nta.nic.in for download.
- Candidates will be able to challenge specific answers by submitting supporting documents and paying a non‑refundable fee of Rs 200 per question.
- Subject experts will review all objections and the final UGC NET result will be prepared from the revised answer key with no objections accepted after results are declared.
- The delay has raised anxiety among applicants and expectations were heightened because the December 2025 session’s provisional key was released quickly, while the Ministry of Education has not issued a statement on timing.
