An user wrote on X, "Why haven't you released the provisional answer key yet? How much more uncertainty and stress does a student have to go through? When students fill out the exam form, you charge around ₹1100 as the application fee. Yet, at many exam centres, even basic facilities like proper air conditioning are not available.
So why is the examination fee so high? How much more are students expected to endure? Sir, if you are reading this message, please clarify why the answer key has not been released yet. Also, please let us know how much longer students will have to wait for the answer key and the final result."
Another user wrote, "Why are you not releasing the UGC NET answer key? Every delay creates unnecessary anxiety and fuels doubts. If the examination process is fair and transparent, why the delay? Stop making simple things complicated and release the Key immediately."
