The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the final answer key and result of the UGC NET December 2024 exam shortly. The exam, held on January 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 21, and 27, 2025, saw the release of its provisional answer keys on January 31, 2025, allowing candidates to raise objections until February 3, 2025. Before declaring the results, NTA will first publish the final answer key. Candidates can check both the results and the final answer key on the official website when announced.
However, examinees must keep in mind that the final answer key will be released, only if the panel of experts checking the submitted objections finds any discrepancy in the already published provisional/initial answer key.
