UGC‑NET June 2025 Provisional Answer Key Release and Objection Process: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to publish the UGC‑NET June 2025 provisional answer key in July 2025. This key is critical for the thousands of candidates who appeared for the exam between June 25 and 29, as it allows them to verify their responses against the official solutions and estimate their scores for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) eligibility.
Once released on the official portal, candidates can download the answer key from ugcnet.nta.ac.in under the “Public Notices” section. They will then have a specified window to challenge any discrepancies by submitting objections, subject to a non‑refundable fee per question. Validated objections will lead to issuance of a final revised answer key.
