How is UGC NET Result 2025 Calculated?

The National Testing Agency (NTA) uses a structured method to calculate UGC NET results 2025. The steps below explain how the result is determined:

• Step 1: NTA shortlists a total of 6% of the candidates who appeared in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 combined as qualified.
• Step 2: Based on the Government of India's reservation policy, the total slots are divided among different categories such as General, OBC, SC, ST, and others.
• Step 3: Candidates must attempt both Paper 1 and Paper 2 and secure the minimum qualifying marks to be eligible for either 'Assistant Professor only' or both 'JRF and Assistant Professor.'
• Step 4: NTA calculates the number of qualifying candidates in each subject and category using a predefined formula. The cut-off for each subject-category is based on the aggregate marks of both papers and the number of slots available.
• Step 5: Only those candidates who have specifically applied for both JRF and Assistant Professor are considered for the Junior Research Fellowship selection from the qualified pool.
• Step 6: The final JRF slots are distributed across different categories in accordance with the reservation guidelines issued by the Government of India.

UGC NET Normalisation Process 2025

Since the UGC NET exam is conducted in multiple shifts with varying difficulty levels, the National Testing Agency (NTA) uses a score normalization process to ensure fairness. The method relies on percentile scores to equate results across different sessions.

Step 1: Allot Candidates to Different Shifts

Candidates are randomly assigned to different exam shifts in such a way that each shift has a nearly equal number of test-takers.

• Shift 1: Day 1, Morning Session
• Shift 2: Day 1, Afternoon Session

If the exam spans more days or has more shifts, the candidate distribution is adjusted accordingly to maintain balance.

Step 2: Compute Scores for Each Shift Separately

For every shift, NTA calculates two types of scores:

• Raw Scores: Actual marks scored by candidates based on correct responses.
• Percentile Scores: Position of a candidate in comparison to others in the same shift, calculated using a statistical formula.

Step 3: Convert Raw Marks to NTA Scores

The percentile scores from all shifts are then normalized and merged to create a unified NTA score. These scores reflect the candidate's performance relative to others, regardless of question paper difficulty.

Example:  
If a score of 40% equals a percentile of 74 in Shift 1 and 76 in Shift 2, only candidates scoring 76 percentile or above (i.e., 76 to 100 percentile) in either shift will be considered eligible for the general category. The same approach is applied while determining cutoffs for reserved categories.

This normalization ensures that no candidate is unfairly benefited or penalized due to the variation in difficulty levels across different shifts.

UGC NET Qualifying Marks 2025

To qualify for UGC NET 2025, candidates must secure a minimum percentage of marks in both Paper 1 and Paper 2. The necessary marks differ according to the candidate's category. The table below outlines the expected qualifying marks for each category:
