UGC NET Results: NTA will announce the UGC NET December 2025 results on the official website.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to announce the UGC NET December 2025 results by February 4 on its official website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. Once declared, candidates will be able to check and download their scorecards using their registered login details.
The UGC NET December 2025–26 examination was conducted in computer-based mode between December 31 and February 7, 2026, covering 85 subjects. The provisional answer keys were released on January 14, and candidates were allowed to raise objections till January 17.
After examining all the challenges received, NTA will release the final answer key along with the results.
Once the results are announced, candidates can immediately download their scorecards from the official portal. The e-certificate or JRF award letter is usually issued within one to two months after the declaration of results.
Candidates who qualify for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) must enrol in a PhD programme within three years to avail the fellowship. Those declared eligible for Assistant Professor can apply for teaching positions. Candidates marked “Qualified for PhD only” can use their NET score for PhD admissions for one year, where the NET score generally carries 70 per cent weightage in the selection process.

What Is Normalisation?
As the UGC NET exam is conducted in multiple shifts, candidates’ raw marks are converted into NTA scores (percentiles) through a normalisation process. When a subject exam is held in more than one shift, percentile scores are calculated separately for each shift and then combined for final processing.
If percentiles vary across shifts, the lowest percentile among the shifts is taken as the eligibility cut-off for that category across all shifts.
For instance, if 40 per cent marks correspond to the 78 percentile in one shift and the 79 percentile in another, the cut-off percentile will be fixed at 78.
