UGC NET December 2025 Results Released: Scorecards Now Available
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the results for the UGC NET examination conducted in December 2025. Candidates who appeared for the test can now access their scorecards by logging into the official portal using their application number and date of birth. This result determines eligibility for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor positions, and PhD admissions across Indian universities and colleges.
The final answer keys were published after a thorough review of objections raised against the provisional answer keys. This ensures that the evaluation process was transparent and that candidates were assessed based on the most accurate responses.
Subject-Wise Cut-Off Marks Announced
Alongside the results, the NTA has also published the cut-off marks for each subject. These thresholds vary depending on the subject and the candidate’s category, including General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS. Only those candidates who have secured the minimum required cut-off for their respective subject and category have been declared qualified.
For candidates from the General and General-EWS categories, a minimum of 40 percent aggregate marks across both papers is mandatory. In contrast, the qualifying threshold for SC, ST, OBC, PwD, and Third Gender candidates has been set at 35 percent.
Over 7.35 Lakh Candidates Appeared
A total of 7,35,592 candidates registered for and appeared in the December 2025 UGC NET examination. The test was conducted over multiple days, leading to variations in the number of candidates appearing on each day. Despite this, the overall attendance rate remained consistent, ranging between 71 and 75 percent across all examination days.
