Overview
- The National Testing Agency published provisional answer keys and candidates' recorded responses for the UGC‑NET re‑exams in English, Commerce and Sociology on Thursday and opened an objection window through September 13.
- Candidates may file online challenges on the official portal only and must submit evidence with each objection before the deadline at 11:59 PM on September 13.
- The agency requires a Rs 200 processing fee for each question challenged; the fee is refundable if the subject experts accept the objection.
- Submitted challenges will be reviewed by NTA‑appointed subject experts who will apply any validated corrections uniformly to all candidates in that subject and then issue a final answer key that cannot be further contested.
- The outcome matters for JRF awards, assistant professor eligibility and PhD admissions because corrected keys can change scores, ranks and shortlists and may affect candidates' career and admission timelines.
