The CSIR-UGC NET December exam, conducted by the NTA, took place on December 26, 27, and 28, 2023. A total of 2,19,146 candidates participated in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) at 356 examination centers spread across 176 cities nationwide.

After the objection window closure, the NTA will meticulously review the candidates' feedback. Valid objections will lead to modifications in the final answer key, which will, in turn, be utilized for result preparation.

Verification process and result declaration

The NTA clarified, “Challenges made by the candidates will be verified by a panel of Subject Experts. If the challenge of any candidate is found correct, the Answer Key will be revised and applied in the response of all the candidates accordingly. Based on the revised Final Answer Key, the result will be prepared and declared. No individual candidate will be informed about the acceptance/non-acceptance of his/her challenge.”
