UGC NET June 2026 Result for 84 Subjects
UGC NET June 2026 was conducted from June 22 to June 30 across 87 subjects. However, the final answer keys and results currently scheduled for release cover only 84 subjects.
The three excluded subjects are:
English
Commerce
Sociology
NTA had earlier withheld the provisional answer keys for these subjects after complaints regarding errors in the question papers.
Therefore, candidates should understand the current situation as:
84 Subjects → Final Answer Key + Result This Week
English → Re-Examination
Commerce → Re-Examination
Sociology → Re-Examination
UGC NET English, Commerce and Sociology Re-Exam
Fresh examinations for English, Commerce and Sociology are scheduled for September 2026.
The reported schedule is:
| Subject | Re-Exam Date |
|---|---|
| English | September 9, 2026 |
| Commerce | September 9, 2026 |
| Sociology | September 10, 2026 |
The decision followed a review of problems in the original papers, including factual, typing and translation errors.
Candidates appearing in these subjects should therefore not expect their results along with the other 84 subjects.
UGC NET Final Answer Key 2026
NTA had released the provisional UGC NET answer keys for 84 subjects on August 16, 2026. Candidates were allowed to review the answers and submit objections according to the prescribed process.
The next stage is:

UGC NET Result
The final answer key is prepared after NTA reviews challenges submitted against the provisional answers. The result is then calculated using the finalized answers.
Joint CSIR-UGC NET Result 2026
The Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2026 final answer key and result are also scheduled for release this week.
The provisional answer key and recorded responses were released on August 16. Candidates were allowed to submit objections until August 18, 2026, by paying Rs 200 per challenged question.
The examination was conducted on July 17 and 18, 2026.
According to India Today, 1,87,739 candidates had registered for the examination, which was conducted in CBT mode across 224 cities at 352 examination centers.
ICAR Results 2026 Also Expected This Week
NTA's announcement also covers:
ICAR AIEEA (PG) 2026
ICAR AICE-JRF/SRF (PhD) 2026
The final answer keys and results for these examinations are expected to be published during the same week.
Candidates should monitor the NTA website and the relevant examination portal for their result links.
Has NTA Announced an Exact Result Date?
No.
This is important because the current announcement confirms that the results will be released "this week," but NTA has not announced a specific date or time.
India Today also reports that NTA has not specified whether the UGC NET, CSIR NET and ICAR results will be released together or at different times.
Candidates should therefore avoid reports claiming an exact result time unless NTA subsequently confirms it.
