UGC NET June 2026 Cut Off
NTA has released the subject wise and category wise cut off marks along with the result. The cut off determines eligibility for three categories, Junior Research Fellowship along with Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor only, and PhD admission only. Cut off marks are calculated separately for Unreserved, OBC‑NCL, EWS, SC, ST and applicable PwD and Third Gender categories, and vary by subject depending on the number of vacancies notified and the difficulty level of that subject's paper.
For reference, official cut off marks for a few subjects released this cycle are shown below.
| Subject | Category | JRF | Assistant Professor | PhD only |
| Economics | Unreserved | 224 | 196 | 170 |
| Political Science | Unreserved | 222 | 196 | Not applicable in source data |
| Forestry | Unreserved | 220 | 198 | 172 |
| Forestry | OBC‑NCL | 212 | 178 | 156 |
The complete subject wise and category wise cut off list is available in the official cut off PDF published on the UGC NET website, and candidates should refer to it for their specific subject rather than relying on unofficial estimates.
English, Commerce and Sociology Result Pending
The result declared on August 28 does not cover English, Commerce and Sociology. NTA had earlier constituted a committee to examine complaints regarding errors in these three question papers, and based on the committee's findings, these papers will be re conducted on September 9 and 10, 2026. Candidates appearing for the re‑conducted papers are not required to pay any additional examination fee. NTA has clarified that candidates from these three subjects may see an "Invalid Application Number or Password" message if they try to access their scorecard before the re‑examination is completed, and this does not indicate any issue with their login credentials.
How UGC NET Qualification Works
NTA determines the number of qualified candidates in each subject based on a fixed formula, under which the total number of candidates declared qualified is calculated as a percentage of those who appeared in both papers, distributed across categories as per the applicable reservation policy. To qualify for JRF and Assistant Professor eligibility, or Assistant Professor eligibility only, candidates must appear for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 and secure at least the minimum qualifying marks fixed for their category and subject.
