Nearly a month has passed, but candidates are still waiting for their UGC NET answer key which NTA naturally released within 3 to 4 days from the conclusion of exam. The UGC NET exam was concluded on June 30, however a re-exam held on July 5 for candidates affected by technical glitches during the first shift of June 22 at a centre in Jalandhar.
The anxious candidates have raised their grievances on micro blogging platform - X demanding NTA for an update on answer key release date. An user wrote on X, "nearly a month has passed since the UGC NET 2026 exam, yet the provisional answer key is still pending. Thousands of JRF & PhD aspirants are waiting anxiously. I request NTA to release the answer key and results without delay."
"When silence lasts longer than the examination itself, questions begin to answer themselves. UGC NET, NTA release provisional answer key please," another user wrote.
