What if your subject is not listed in the answer key

Note: Use the application number printed on the UGC NET admit card, not the fee transaction reference. NTA said the numbers already allocated per subject would not be reduced after the retest. The three re-exam subjects had no key until their re-exam. Keys for the other 84 subjects came out on 16 August 2026, and results followed on 28.08.2026 and 17.09.2026.

Qualifying the exam does not guarantee selection. The actual cut off for JRF and Assistant Professor is set separately based on the number of qualified candidates and available positions.

After the result

The result decides which of the three qualifying categories a candidate falls into, and each one carries a different entitlement and validity period.

UGC NET certificate validityValidity
JRF validityThe JRF award is valid for 3 years.
Assistant Professor validityAssistant Professor eligibility is valid for life.
PhD admission onlyIt qualifies you for PhD admission only.

Note: JRF is a fellowship for research at universities or institutes, valid for 3 years from the date of declaration. Assistant Professor eligibility lets a candidate apply for college and university faculty posts.

Check the UGC NET June 2026 Cut Off page for previous year qualifying marks and expected 2026 cutoffs, and our UGC NET June 2026 Apply Online page for application and exam details. Both are linked in the Important links table above.

The official cut off, and what it says about your subject

NTA published subject and category wise cut-off marks on the same day as the result. It prints the table but no summary, so the spread below is calculated here from that PDF.

Lowest JRF cut off150 in Bodo and Kashmiri.
Median UR cut off212 for JRF and 188 for Assistant Professor.

Note: Marks are out of 300. Arabic and Geography follow Persian at 250. Konkani follows Bodo and Kashmiri at 152. The median covers 82 subjects and the average gap 78 subjects, calculated here from NTA’s PDF, which gives no summary. English, Commerce and Sociology are not in this list. Their cut-off came separately on 17.09.2026, shown below.

Qualifying marks vs actual cutoff

These are two different things and many candidates confuse them.

  • Qualifying marks: The minimum you need to clear the exam: 40% (120 out of 300) for General/EWS, and 35% (105 out of 300) for reserved categories
  • Actual cutoff for JRF/Assistant Professor: Set separately based on the number of qualifying candidates and available positions – typically much higher than the qualifying marks

Clearing the qualifying mark means you passed. Meeting the JRF or Assistant Professor cutoff means you are selected for that role.

Factors that affect UGC NET cutoff

  • Number of applicants: More applicants in a subject usually means higher competition and higher cutoff
  • Paper difficulty: An easier paper leads to higher average scores and a higher cutoff
  • Number of JRF positions: Fewer fellowships available means a tighter cutoff
  • Reservation policy: Each category has separate cutoffs as per government reservation norms

Once results are declared, check our UGC NET June 2026 Result page for your scorecard and qualifying status. Full application details are on our UGC NET June 2026 Apply Online page.
