The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the admit cards for the UGC-NET June 2026 re-examination scheduled for 9 and 10 September 2026. The re-examination was conducted for three subjects: English, Commerce and Sociology, after an expert review identified errors in the original question papers. The admit card notice was published on 4 September 2026, and candidates were advised to download their hall tickets from the official UGC-NET website.
Latest update: The re-examination has been completed and NTA declared the results for English, Commerce and Sociology on 17 September 2026.

NTA ordered a fresh examination for English, Commerce and Sociology after an expert committee reviewed complaints about the original question papers. The review identified factual, typographical, translation, grammatical and other errors, along with repetition of questions. NTA decided to re-conduct the affected papers to maintain fairness and examination standards.
The re-examination was limited to these three subjects. The results for the other 84 subjects were processed separately. Candidates appearing in the re-exam were not required to pay an additional examination fee.
| Subject | Exam date | Shift | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | 9 September 2026 | Shift 1 | 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon |
| Commerce | 9 September 2026 | Shift 2 | 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM |
| Sociology | 10 September 2026 | Shift 1 | 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon |
The examination was conducted in CBT mode. Candidates were required to follow the reporting time, centre address and instructions printed on their individual admit cards.
The admit card facility was available before the September re-examination. Candidates who need to refer to the original process can follow these steps if NTA makes the old service accessible:
The re-exam has already taken place, so candidates should now use the scorecard and result services rather than expecting the old admit-card link to remain active.
NTA declared the results for English, Commerce and Sociology on 17 September 2026. According to the official press release, 1,96,491 candidates registered for the three subjects and 1,20,355 appeared in the re-examination. The result summary reported the following qualified candidates:
| Result category | Qualified candidates |
|---|---|
| Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) | 824 |
| Assistant Professor eligibility | 11,610 |
| Ph.D. admission only | 23,154 |
These are the combined figures for the three re-exam subjects. Candidates should log in to check their individual marks, subject and qualification category. The result remains subject to verification of eligibility and documents by the concerned authorities.
NTA published the final answer keys for English, Commerce and Sociology on 17 September 2026 after considering the challenges submitted against the provisional keys. Candidates can access the final answer key through the official UGC-NET portal using their candidate login.
The subject-wise and category-wise cut-off PDF is also available in the official archive. The cut-off varies by subject, reservation category and qualification type, including JRF, Assistant Professor and Ph.D. admission only. Candidates should download the PDF and check the row for their own subject and category instead of relying on a general expected cut-off.
NTA provides a separate e-certificate service for eligible candidates. The UGC-NET website lists e-certificate issuance for the June 2026 examination. Candidates who qualified should use the official e-certificate service and follow the login instructions. Keep the scorecard and certificate safely for future fellowship, academic and recruitment purposes.
UGC-NET qualification does not itself guarantee appointment or admission to a particular institution. Final eligibility and document verification are carried out according to the applicable rules.
