Exam Overview
The UGC NET exam this year took place in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode over a span of three days, from August 21 to August 23, 2024. It is crucial for candidates to review the answer key as it forms an integral part of the evaluation process, allowing them to gauge their performance and challenge any discrepancies they may notice within their results.
Objection Submission Details
Candidates wishing to contest any answers listed in the provisional key must do so by registering their objections before 11:59 PM on September 9.

Understanding the Exam Format
Throughout the UGC NET exam, all questions carried a weight of two marks, and it is essential to mention that there was no negative marking implemented, providing candidates a slight advantage.

The examination is conducted biannually, in June and December.
This examination not only evaluates candidates’ knowledge and teaching skills but also marks a significant milestone in their academic careers. All participants are encouraged to stay updated regarding the final results’ announcement for a seamless academic progression.
