UGC NET June 2026 Result: Important Note for English, Commerce, Sociology Candidates

Candidates of English, Commerce, and Sociology will not find their result in today's release. An NTA-appointed committee identified multiple factual, typographical, translation, and grammatical errors in these three papers, and the exams were re-conducted separately on September 9 and 10, 2026. Candidates from these subjects may see an "Invalid Application Number/Password" error if they try to log in — NTA has clarified this does not indicate a credentials issue; their result will follow after the re-exam evaluation.

UGC NET June 2026 Cut-Off Marks: Subject-Wise Highest JRF Scores

Cut-off marks are declared separately for Unreserved, OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST, and respective PwD sub-categories, and vary by subject. There is no single, uniform UGC NET qualifying score.

What Is the Minimum Qualifying Percentage for UGC NET 2026?

Candidates from the General category need a minimum of 40% aggregate marks across Paper 1 and Paper 2. Candidates from SC/ST/OBC/PwD/Transgender categories need a minimum of 35% aggregate marks. However, the effective cut-off is usually higher and depends on the subject-wise vacancy position and difficulty level, as reflected in the table above.

It is not applicable for English, Commerce, and Sociology, which follow a separate timeline after their re-exam.
