The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the provisional answer key for the CSIR-UGC NET December 2024 session. Candidates who appeared for the exam can now access the answer key, question papers, and response sheet through the official website csirnet.nta.ac.in by logging in with their application number and date of birth.
Steps to Access the Answer Key
Candidates who are not satisfied with the provisional answer key can challenge it through the official portal until March 14, 2025. Each challenge requires a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question. As per the official notice, all objections will be reviewed by a panel of subject experts, and if any challenge is found valid, the final answer key will be updated accordingly. The CSIR UGC NET 2024 results will be prepared based on this revised answer key.
To challenge the answer key, candidates need to log in to the CSIR NET official website, view their response sheet, select the question ID they wish to dispute, upload supporting documents in PDF format, and pay the required fee online. Only challenges submitted with successful payment will be considered.
