The degree of difficulty may vary because the UGC NET exam is administered in several shifts using different question papers. The NTA employs a normalisation procedure based on percentile scores to guarantee equity. Because question difficulty varies throughout shifts, our approach guarantees that applicants are neither disadvantaged nor privileged.
A filing fee of ₹200 was required for each candidate who wanted to object to the provisional key. The competitors' challenges will be verified by the panel of subject matter experts.
The Answer Key will be updated and applied to each candidate's response correctly if a candidate's challenge is found to be accurate. The revised Final Answer Key will be used to prepare and announce the result.
