The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the provisional answer key for the UGC NET June 2026 exam on its official website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. Multiple reports indicate the answer key will be made available shortly after the exam concludes, with one source placing the expected release window between July 15 and July 20. After the key is uploaded, candidates who took the test will be able to view their recorded responses through the OMR sheets and check the provisional, paper-wise/subject-wise answer key. Candidates also get a period to raise objections against any answers they believe are incorrect or require reconsideration. One report states candidates can submit challenges by paying a non-refundable fee of Rs 200 per question, while other accounts describe an online objection process during a prescribed window. The reports also note that applicants can log in using required credentials such as application number and date of birth, select the questions they wish to challenge, and submit supporting material if required. Following the objection window, the NTA reviews the submissions and, if changes are warranted, revises the answer key before preparing the final answer key and related results.
