UGC NET June 2026 answer key release delayed amid NTA revamp

The UGC NET exam for June 2026 was held from June 22 to 30, with an estimated 7–8 lakh candidates across 87 subjects. Following the exam, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not issued the answer key or response sheet. The Union Government recently terminated 47 NTA officials over irregularities in conducting the exams and announced a revamp of the agency, contributing to uncertainty about when the answer key will be released.

Candidates can expect a provisional answer key to be posted on the official NTA website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in, along with a challenge window that allows them to dispute specific answers for a fee. However, no definitive date for the final answer key or results has been provided, and aspirants are advised to await further updates from the centre.
