Details to be Checked in UGC NET Result

The UGC NET Result 2026 contains the following details, and candidates should carefully check these details.

How Normalisation Works in UGC NET Exam?

• Scores are calculated using percentile scores (not raw scores)
• The highest score in each shift is taken as the benchmark
• All other scores are adjusted proportionally
• Formula Used: Percentile Score = (Number of candidates who scored equal to or below your score ÷ Total candidates in that shift) × 100

Tie-Breaking Criteria for UGC NET Merit Ranking

When two or more candidates achieve the same percentile score, NTA applies a sequential three-step tie-breaker to determine the merit position

• Paper 2 Marks – Higher marks achieved in the domain-specific Subject Paper (Paper 2) take priority
• Paper 1 Marks – If the tie persists, higher marks in the General Paper on Teaching & Research Aptitude (Paper 1) determine the higher rank
• Age Criteria – If both paper scores are identical, the candidate older in age receives the higher merit ranking.
