The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the UGC NET June 2026 Result on 28 August 2026 for 84 subjects on its official portal at ugcnet.nta.nic.in, along with the Final Answer Key and category-wise and subject-wise cutoff marks. Out of 7,73,806 registered candidates, 6,07,151 appeared across 84 subjects, of whom 1,47,579 have qualified under the three eligibility categories — JRF, Assistant Professor and PhD admission. Scorecards are available for login-based download using Application Number and Date of Birth. Results for three subjects — English, Commerce and Sociology — have not been declared as these papers will be re-conducted on 9 and 10 September 2026 due to multiple errors detected in the original question papers.
Important – Read Before You Check: Two things every candidate must know right now. First, if you appeared in English, Commerce or Sociology, your scorecard is not available yet — NTA has clarified that candidates attempting to access these results will receive an “Invalid Application Number/Password” message; this does not indicate a credential error — the result simply has not been published for these three subjects pending the re-examination on 9-10 September 2026. Second, download your scorecard and the final answer key immediately — NTA portals typically experience very high traffic on result day and scorecard access windows can be time-limited; download, save and print your scorecard now, and cross-check your score against the official final answer key released alongside the result.

What the Three Eligibility Categories Mean
| Category | Qualification |
|---|---|
| JRF + Assistant Professor | Eligible for Junior Research Fellowship (financial award for research) and appointment as Assistant Professor in colleges and universities |
| Assistant Professor + PhD Admission | Eligible to apply for Assistant Professor posts and for PhD programme admissions without JRF benefit |
| PhD Admission | Eligible for PhD admissions in universities and colleges as per UGC regulations |
Candidates who do not appear in the qualified list are not eligible for any of the three categories in this cycle. Qualifying the UGC NET is separate from and does not guarantee appointment — it only confers eligibility.
Three Subjects Withheld — English, Commerce and Sociology
NTA has withheld the results for English, Commerce and Sociology following the detection of multiple errors in the original question papers for these three subjects.

Candidates who appeared for these three subjects and attempt to access their scorecards will receive an “Invalid Application Number/Password” error message. NTA has clarified this is not a credential issue — the scorecards are simply not yet published for these subjects.
