"The provisional answer key is provisional for a reason," the testing agency noted in a social media post on X. The NTA further stated:
"If you believe an answer is academically incorrect, UGC NET June 2026 candidates have a formal window to challenge it, with supporting evidence. Every valid objection goes to subject experts, and the final answer key is prepared on that basis."
The UGC NET 2026 candidates are advised to download and save copies of their provisional answer key, recorded response sheet and question paper for future reference and for calculating their probable scores before the final results are announced.
