The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to announce the results of the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) December 2020 and June 2021 sessions by January end. The agency, however, is yet to give any official confirmation. Once released, the results will be available at the official website — ugcnet.nta.nic.in.
Before the Covid-19, the NTA usually announced the results of UGC NET within a month or less. The students are now urging the authorities to announce the results immediately. In 2021, the UGC NET was held from November 20 up to December 5. In some places, the exam was postponed due to a cyclone but it was later held between December 24 to 30. The NTA had merged the two attempts last year — December 2020 and June 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
