New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Sunday released the provisional answer key for the UGC NET June 2026 examination.

Candidates who appeared for the test can access their recorded responses and question papers online through the official UGC NET website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. The provisional key allows them to match their answers with those provided by the NTA, estimate probable scores and raise objections if they find discrepancies or incorrect answers.

Objections can be submitted until August 18. A processing fee of Rs 200 is payable for every question challenged. Challenges filed within the deadline will be examined by the concerned authorities before the final answer key is prepared and released.

According to the NTA’s official notice, provisional answer keys have been uploaded for 84 subjects. Candidates can check their responses and question papers along with the answer key for these subjects. The provisional keys for three subjects—English, Commerce and Sociology—will be released separately. The notice stated that a committee had been constituted to examine complaints regarding various types of errors in the question papers for these subjects, and that a public notice on them would be issued later the same day based on the committee’s recommendations.
