NTA has released the result statistics for the 84 subjects for which the June 2026 result has been declared.
| Result Particulars | Number of Candidates |
|---|---|
| Candidates Registered | 7,73,806 |
| Candidates Appeared | 6,07,151 |
| Qualified for JRF and Assistant Professor | 4,241 |
| Qualified for Assistant Professor and PhD Admission | 45,904 |
| Qualified for PhD Only | 97,434 |
| Total Qualified Candidates | 1,47,579 |
Among the registered candidates, 4,30,195 were female, 3,43,575 were male and 36 were third-gender candidates.
The UGC NET result places qualified candidates into different eligibility categories depending on their performance and applicable criteria.
JRF and Assistant Professor: Candidates qualifying under this category are eligible for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) as well as Assistant Professor eligibility, subject to the applicable UGC-NET rules and verification requirements.
A total of 4,241 candidates qualified under the JRF and Assistant Professor category in the June 2026 result.
Assistant Professor and PhD Admission: Candidates qualifying under this category are eligible for Assistant Professor and admission to PhD programmes, but they are not eligible for JRF. A total of 45,904 candidates qualified under this category.
PhD Only: Candidates qualifying under the PhD-only category are eligible for admission to PhD programmes, subject to the admission rules of the concerned university or institution. They are not eligible for JRF or Assistant Professor eligibility through this category.
A total of 97,434 candidates qualified under the PhD-only category.
The UGC NET June 2026 Cut Off has been released by NTA along with the result for 84 subjects. The official cutoff is available in subject-wise and category-wise format.
The cutoff varies according to the subject, category and qualification category. Therefore, candidates should check the official cutoff corresponding to their subject and category instead of relying on a single overall cutoff.
Candidates can check the complete subject-wise and category-wise cutoff marks in the official NTA cutoff PDF.
The official cutoff document provides cutoff marks and the number of candidates for JRF, Assistant Professor and PhD-only qualification categories across subjects and categories.
The UGC NET cutoff is the subject- and category-specific benchmark used to determine candidates who qualify under the applicable eligibility categories.
Candidates should distinguish between minimum qualifying marks and the final UGC NET cutoff. The minimum qualifying percentage is the basic eligibility requirement, whereas the final cutoff depends on the subject, category and qualification category.
The minimum aggregate marks prescribed for the examination are:
| Category | Minimum Aggregate Marks |
| General / General-EWS | 40% |
| OBC-NCL / SC / ST / PwD/PwBD | 35% |
However, securing the minimum qualifying percentage alone does not necessarily mean that a candidate will qualify for JRF or Assistant Professor. Candidates must meet the applicable subject-wise and category-wise cutoff.
NTA has released the detailed cutoff for all 84 subjects in the official cutoff PDF. The document contains separate cutoff marks and candidate counts for the different qualification categories.
For example, the official cutoff document provides separate entries for subjects such as Economics, Political Science, Philosophy, Psychology, History, Anthropology and Education, along with other subjects included in the June 2026 result.
Candidates should download the official PDF and search for their subject code or subject name to find the relevant category-wise cutoff.
The UGC NET June 2026 examination was conducted for 87 subjects, but the result has currently been declared for only 84 subjects.
NTA will re-conduct the examinations for English, Commerce and Sociology on September 9 and 10, 2026. The result and scorecard for candidates who appeared for these three subjects will be made available only after the re-examination.
Candidates from these subjects may receive an “Invalid Application Number/Password” message if they try to access the June 2026 scorecard before the re-examination. This does not mean that their application or result has been cancelled. NTA has specifically stated that their scorecards will be available after the re-conducted examination.
Although the UGC NET June 2026 examination covered 87 subjects, NTA declared the result for 84 subjects on August 28, 2026.
The remaining three subjects—English, Commerce and Sociology—were excluded from the current result because NTA is conducting their examinations again on September 9 and 10, 2026.
For the 84 subjects, NTA had already completed the provisional answer key challenge process. The question papers, provisional answer keys and recorded responses were made available to candidates from August 16 to August 18, 2026. After reviewing the challenges, NTA processed the result using the finalised answer keys.
UGC NET is conducted in multiple shifts, and NTA follows the applicable normalisation procedure for determining candidate scores where required.
Candidates should rely on the final score and qualification status mentioned on the official UGC NET scorecard rather than attempting to calculate their final qualification status solely from raw marks or unofficial percentile calculations.
The final result has been processed using the answer keys finalised after consideration of challenges received during the provisional answer key challenge process.
Candidates often use the terms result, scorecard and certificate interchangeably, but they serve different purposes.
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UGC NET Result | Shows the candidate's qualification status after the examination result is declared. |
| UGC NET Scorecard | Provides detailed examination performance and qualification information. |
| UGC NET Certificate / E-Certificate | Provides official confirmation of NET qualification and/or JRF award, as applicable. |
Candidates who qualify should keep their scorecard and other academic documents safely for future academic and recruitment requirements.
After checking the result, candidates should carefully review the qualification category mentioned on their scorecard.
Candidates who qualify for JRF and Assistant Professor can proceed according to the applicable JRF and research requirements.
Candidates qualifying for Assistant Professor and PhD admission can explore Assistant Professor opportunities and PhD admissions according to the applicable rules.
Candidates qualifying under PhD only can check the admission requirements of universities and institutions offering PhD programmes.
Candidates should keep their scorecard and other academic documents safely.
Candidates should complete any further admission, recruitment or fellowship-related requirements within the prescribed timelines.
NTA has also clarified that the eligibility criteria, self-declaration and documents of qualified candidates will be verified by the concerned authorities according to the applicable norms prescribed in the UGC NET June 2026 Information Bulletin.
Qualifying the UGC NET examination does not replace the required eligibility and document verification process.
NTA has stated that the eligibility criteria, self-declaration and other documents of eligible candidates will be verified by the concerned authorities as per the prescribed norms. Candidates should therefore ensure that their academic and category-related documents are accurate and available when require.
