UGC NET June 2026 answer key to be released on August 16: NTA

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revealed that the provisional answer keys for the UGC NET June 2026 examinations will be made available on August 16, 2026. This announcement was made on August 14, 2026. The provisional keys will be accessible on the NTA's official website. The answer keys for CSIR-NET and ICAR AIEEA (PG) and AICE (PhD) 2026 exams will also be released on the same day.

This follows NTA's earlier announcement that provisional keys would be published during the week. Once the keys are published, candidates can review their answers and submit objections through the online process specified. Further instructions, including the challenge window and procedure, will be provided by NTA alongside the answer key.

To access the provisional key, candidates must log in to the official NTA website using their examination credentials. It is crucial for candidates to compare their responses with the provisional key before submitting any challenges. Please note that the provisional key is not the final one. After evaluating the challenges received, NTA will release the final answer key, which will be utilized for finalizing the examination results.

NTA has instructed candidates to solely rely on official NTA communications and to periodically visit the website for updates concerning the answer key and the subsequent result process.
