National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet declared the results of the UGC NET 2022 exam. As per past-year records, the the University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) 2022 results are expected to come out in the second week of February, preferably by February 15, 2022. However, nothing can be said for sure as the agency is yet to provide any clarity about the result date. Till such clarity is provided by NTA, candidates can take a look at the previous-year cut-offs as well as this year’s expected figures to know their shortlisting status.
The UGC NET 2022 examination was successfully conducted at selected centres across the country, from November 20, 2021, to January 05, 2022. To the candidates’ delight, NTA has already released the official answer key on their dedicated website ugcnet.nta.nic.in.

The above-mentioned UGC NET 2022 Expected Cut-offs have been determined based on previous-year cut-offs. Although several factors determine the cut-off for each category, it will differ slightly from the previous-year figure. Hence, candidates can use these expected numbers to determine their chances of getting into a fellowship programme. All they need to do is compare their calculated exam score with the expected figure corresponding to their selected subject/s.
