Answer Key Release
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is anticipated to release the provisional answer key for the UGC NET December 2025 examination soon. Candidates who participated
in the exam can expect the key to be available on the official UGC NET website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in. The answer key release is a crucial step for candidates to assess their performance and potentially raise challenges against any discrepancies they find. The provisional key provides an initial evaluation opportunity, while the final answer key is released after considering any valid objections raised by the candidates. Therefore, it is important for the test-takers to remain vigilant and regularly check the website for updates on the answer key's release date and time.
Objection Window Details
Following the release of the provisional answer key, the NTA will open an objection window. This window is a specific period during which candidates can raise challenges against the answers provided in the provisional key. The objection window allows candidates to scrutinize the answers and, if necessary, submit objections if they believe that any answer is incorrect or if they have supporting evidence to prove their claim. It is important to note that only paid challenges will be considered by the NTA. The processing fee details for raising objections will be available on the official website. The window's opening date and time will be announced along with the provisional answer key, so candidates should watch the website for updates to ensure they don't miss the opportunity to raise their concerns.
How to Download
To download the provisional answer key, candidates should visit the official UGC NET website. The website address is ugcnet.nta.nic.in. Once there, they should look for the link or section specifically dedicated to the answer key for the December 2025 examination. Candidates are typically required to log in using their credentials, such as their application number and date of birth, to access and download the answer key. Along with the answer key, candidates can also find the response sheet, which allows them to compare their answers with the official answers. Following the official guidelines and staying updated with the official website's announcements ensures a smooth and accurate download process.
Processing Fee Charges
When raising objections against the provisional answer key, candidates must be aware that there is a processing fee. Only paid challenges are considered by the NTA. The processing fee is charged for each question challenged and is specified on the official website. The exact amount of the fee will be detailed in the notification related to the provisional key's release. Candidates need to ensure that they are prepared to pay the required fee through the designated payment method. It's recommended to carefully review the guidelines on the website to understand the payment process and related deadlines. The fee structure is designed to manage the number of frivolous objections and ensure that the review process remains focused on genuine concerns.
