The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the UGC NET June 2026 results and the corresponding subject-wise cutoff marks on 28 August 2026. This release covers 84 out of 87 subjects. Due to technical discrepancies identified in the original question papers, the examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology were cancelled and are scheduled for a re-conduct on 9–10 September 2026. Consequently, the cutoff marks for these three subjects will be announced following the re-examination process.

The cutoff marks for UGC NET are determined based on several factors, including the difficulty level of the question paper, the number of candidates appearing for a specific subject, and the availability of slots under the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor, and PhD admission categories. Normalization techniques are employed to ensure fairness across multiple shifts.
Candidates can verify their qualifying status by following these steps:
Candidates must note that clearing the minimum qualifying percentage does not guarantee selection. Admission or fellowship eligibility is strictly contingent upon meeting the subject and category-specific cutoffs defined by the NTA. JRF cutoffs are consistently higher than those for Assistant Professor positions. All candidates are advised to monitor the official portal regularly for updates concerning the pending results for English, Commerce, and Sociology.
