UGC NET Result 2025 Calculation

The UGC NET Result is prepared by the National Testing Agency by following a set of procedures. Below are the given steps through which the NTA prepares the UGC NET Result. 

Step 1: The total number of aspirants who cleared the UGC NET both papers should be equal to 6% 

Step 2: As per the reservation policy of India, all the slots are allotted to different categories. 

Step 3: Further, candidates are required to appear for both paper 1 and paper 2 and obtain the minimum qualifying marks in order to determine for ‘JRF and eligibility for Assistant Professor’ or ‘eligibility for Assistant Professor only'. 

Step 4: The number of candidates who will be declared qualified in any subject for a specific category is calculated using the formula below.

According to the aforementioned example, the UGC NET cut-off for the eligibility of Assistant Professor in Economics for the SC category is decided by the aggregate percentage of the two papers corresponding to the number of slots arrived. Further, in order to decide the subject-wise qualifying cutoff for all categories, the same formula is used. 

Step 5: Only those candidates will be considered for the JRF who have applied for the JRF and Assistant Professor eligibility out of the total number of qualified candidates

Step 6: As per the reservation policy of the Government of India, the slots which are available for awarding the JRF are assigned to different categories. 

UGC NET Result 2025 Score Normalization

UGC NET exam is conducted in multiple shifts. Each shift has a different set of questions, and the difficulty level may vary between the shifts. Some candidates might get an easier set of questions, while others could get a harder one. This can lead to differences in marks, where candidates with harder questions might score lower. 

To solve this problem, NTA uses a Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score. This method ensures that no candidate is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged because of the difficulty level of the exam. For normalization of scores across the sections, the UGC NET percentile score is taken into consideration. Percentile is calculated by following the formula given below: 

The NTA authorities calculate the normalized UGC NET scores by following the instructions below:

Step 1: Divide Candidates into Two Shifts

The candidates will be randomly divided into two groups (shifts) so that each shift has almost the same number of candidates.

• Shift 1: Day 1, Shift 1
• Shift 2: Day 1, Shift 2

Note: If there are more days or fewer shifts, we adjust the groups accordingly to keep things fair.

Step 2: Calculate Results for Each Shift

For each shift, we will calculate two things:

• Raw Scores: The actual scores each candidate gets.
• Percentile Scores: This shows how each candidate performed compared to others in the same shift.

Step 3: Combine Percentile and Final Scores

After calculating the percentile scores for each shift, the authorities will combine them. These combined scores are called NTA scores. The NTA scores will then be used to create the final UGC NET result.
