The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The National Testing Agency has still not released the provisional answer keys or results for the June 2026 UGC-NET, more than a month after the exam was held from June 22 to 30 across 87 subjects.
- The test determines eligibility for PhD admissions, assistant professor recruitment, and Junior Research Fellowships, so thousands of candidates are left waiting anxiously.
- The delay is much longer than previous cycles, when answer keys came out within about a week, and the NTA has not communicated the reason or said whether there was a paper leak.
- Student groups, including the SFI, have demanded the immediate release of answer keys and a clear schedule, while the NTA and education ministry did not respond to queries.
What to watch next
- Release of provisional answer keys and the objection window schedule
- Any official explanation from the NTA or education ministry, including on possible paper leaks
- Declared timeline for final answer keys and results
