NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to release the UGC NET December 2025 result today.
Candidates can check their results on the official website ugcnet.nta.ac.in using application credentials.
The examination for 85 subjects was conducted nationwide in computer-based test (CBT) mode.
The provisional answer keys for exams held on December 31, 2025, and January 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, 2026, along with the question papers and recorded responses, were released on January 14, allowing candidates to raise objections.
Challenges submitted by candidates were reviewed by subject experts. If a challenge was found to be valid, the answer key was revised and applied to the responses of all candidates accordingly.
Based on the revised final answer key, the result is prepared and declared.
The final answer key approved by the expert panel is binding.
UGC NET is a national-level eligibility test conducted to assess:
- Eligibility for Assistant Professor posts
- Award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF)
- Admission to PhD programmes under the revised UGC framework
- The December 2025 session was held in computer-based mode across multiple shifts and subjects.
The result will include marks obtained in Paper 1 and Paper 2, aggregate score and percentile, qualification status (JRF/NET/PhD only) and category-wise cut-off details.
Candidates are advised to carefully verify all information mentioned on the scorecard.
Candidates qualifying for Assistant Professor eligibility can apply for teaching positions as and when vacancies are announced. Those awarded JRF will be eligible for funded PhD programmes and research fellowships.
Under the revised policy, candidates without JRF can also apply for PhD admission based on their NET score and interview performance, subject to university norms.
