The National Testing Agency (NTA) has recently released the revised final answer key for the UGC NET December 2025 session. This update was mandated by a directive from the Delhi High Court, which had earlier ordered the agency to address discrepancies identified in initial answer keys.
Historical Context and Impact
The controversy began with the History paper, where over 60,777 candidates took the exam, leading to widespread dissatisfaction when nearly nine questions were marked incorrectly. Despite students providing evidence of errors, no changes were made to the original answer keys released on February 4.
Anger and social media uproar followed this initial announcement, ultimately pushing the matter before the courts for resolution. The revised final answer key has since removed four questions from the History paper while accepting two additional correct options for three other questions.
The Process of Revision
Following the December 31, 2025, to January 7, 2026, examination period, the provisional answer key was released on January 14. This phase was crucial for gauging initial results and identifying discrepancies. The final release of this revised answer key provides a clearer path forward for students seeking relief from initial inconveniences.
Candidates can check their updated scorecards at ucgnet.nta.ac.in. This new answer key will significantly impact the scores of affected candidates, particularly those involved in contesting discrepancies within the History subject. It's a critical step towards resolving what was seen as a major blot on standardized assessment procedures.
