NTA to Announce UGC-NET Results for 84 Subjects This Week
The National Testing Agency plans to announce UGC-NET results this week.
The results cover 84 subjects.
The agency will also release results and answer keys for some other examinations.
Experts found several kinds of mistakes in the English, Commerce and Sociology papers.
Because of these mistakes, students taking those papers must take fresh examinations.
The new tests will happen on September 9 and 10.
Students will not need to pay another examination fee.
UGC-NET helps decide who may become an assistant professor or receive a research fellowship in India.
The National Testing Agency will publish UGC-NET results and final answer keys for 84 subjects this week.
Results and final answer keys for CSIR-NET and ICAR examinations will also be posted on the NTA website.
