To submit a challenge, candidates will have to pay a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question. The fee can be paid through debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.
All objections will be reviewed by subject experts appointed by the NTA. If any challenge is found to be valid, the concerned answer will be revised in the final answer key. The UGC NET June 2026 result will be prepared based on this revised final answer key. NTA will not send individual notifications regarding whether a candidate's objection has been accepted or rejected.
