The National Testing Agency has published official answer keys for most UGC-NET June 2026 subjects.
An answer key shows the answers that exam officials consider correct.

The keys cover 84 subjects.
Students must visit the official UGC-NET website and log in with their application number and password.
The English, Commerce, and Sociology papers are not included because those exams will be held again.
NTA said concerns about errors and repeated questions led to the decision to reconduct those papers.
The new exams will happen on September 9 and 10, but the result date has not been announced.
