The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer key for the Joint CSIR UGC NET 2024, which was conducted in June. Candidates who wish to challenge the provisional answer key can do so until Sunday, August 11, 2024, up to 11.50 pm. To raise objections, candidates must visit the official website at csirnet.nta.ac.in.
Each challenge requires a fee of ₹200 per question. This fee is non-refundable and can be paid through Debit or Credit Cards or Net Banking. The deadline for payment is also August 11, 2024, at 11.50 pm. No challenge will be accepted without receipt of the processing fee.
The NTA will carefully examine all challenges submitted by candidates. A panel of Subject Experts will verify each challenge. If a candidate’s challenge is found to be valid, the Answer Key will be revised accordingly. This revised Final Answer Key will then be used to prepare and declare the results for the CSIR UGC NET 2024.
It is important to note that individual candidates will not be notified about the acceptance or rejection of their challenges. The final answer key, after all challenges are reviewed, will be considered definitive.
