The National Testing Agency has released the UGC NET December 2025 results, bringing clarity and relief to thousands of candidates across the country. Aspirants can now check their results on the official website, ugcnet.nta.nic.in, marking a crucial step in their academic and professional journey.
Candidates must log in using their application number, date of birth, and security pin to access their scorecards. Once downloaded, the scorecard clearly shows marks secured in Paper I and Paper II, total score, percentile, and qualifying status. As a result, candidates can easily understand where they stand without confusion.
Final Answer Key and Cut-Off Marks Released
Alongside the results, NTA has also published the final answer key for all subjects. Authorities reviewed all objections raised against the provisional key before finalising it. Therefore, the results now reflect accurate and verified evaluations.
At the same time, NTA announced subject-wise and category-wise cut-off marks. These cut-offs play a decisive role, as only candidates who meet or exceed them qualify for UGC NET. Since cut-offs vary based on competition and performance, candidates are advised to check them carefully.
JRF and Assistant Professor Eligibility Explained
Candidates qualifying for the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) gain eligibility for fellowship benefits as per UGC norms. This opens doors to funded research opportunities in recognised institutions. Meanwhile, those who qualify for Assistant Professor eligibility can apply for teaching positions across universities and colleges in India.
Importantly, qualifying for UGC NET strengthens academic profiles. Hence, many institutions consider it a key requirement during recruitment and admissions.
Keep Scorecards Safe for Future Use
NTA has made it clear that results and scorecards are available only in online mode. Therefore, candidates should download and securely store their scorecards. These documents remain essential for future processes such as counselling, recruitment, and higher education admissions.
With the UGC NET December 2025 results now out, aspirants can confidently plan their next steps. Whether aiming for research or teaching, this milestone plays a vital role in shaping academic careers.
