NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency has issued certificates for the Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2026 examination. A public notice dated 25 September 2026 says the certificates are now available on https://csirnet.nta.nic.in/ for candidates who qualified in the June cycle.
NTA conducted the Joint CSIR-UGC NET June 2026 examination for three categories: award of Junior Research Fellowship and appointment as Assistant Professor; appointment as Assistant Professor and admission to Ph.D.; and admission to Ph.D. only. The exam was held in five subjects for 1,87,739 registered candidates in Computer Based Test mode on 17 and 18 July 2026.
Where to download and whom to mail
The certificate is linked from the CSIR NET portal as the e-Certificate for Joint CSIR UGC NET June 2026, and qualified candidates log in with their application credentials to download it. NTA says that if any candidate faces difficulty in downloading the certificate, she or he can mail csirnet@nta.ac.in or csircertificate@nta.ac.in. For the latest updates, the notice directs candidates to https://csirnet.nta.nic.in/. The portal also lists 011-40759000 as the NTA telephone number.
The notice is issued by the Director (Exams), National Testing Agency. It does not change the result already declared for the June 2026 cycle. It only opens certificate download for those who qualified.
How the June 2026 cycle unfolded
According to an NTA press release dated 29 August, the examination was held in 224 cities across India. Of the 1,87,739 registered candidates, 1,50,057 appeared: 90,380 women, 59,675 men and two third gender candidates.
Life Sciences was the largest paper, with 83,546 registered and 67,650 appearing in the first shift on 17 July. Mathematical Sciences (31,574 registered, 24,964 appeared) and Physical Sciences (27,791 registered, 21,810 appeared) were held in the second shift that day. On 18 July, Chemical Sciences had 38,740 registered and 30,885 appeared, while Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and Planetary Sciences had 6,088 registered and 4,748 appeared.
Provisional answer keys and recorded responses were displayed from 16 to 18 August, up to 11:00 PM, to invite challenges. NTA says the challenges were verified by subject experts and results were processed on the answer keys they finalised. Final answer keys for all five subjects and the scores were released on 29 August. A further public notice dated 10 September declared the result and rank, with score cards available for download on the portal.
Documents will still be verified
The 29 August press release says the eligibility criteria, self-declaration and documents of eligible candidates will be verified by the concerned authorities as specified in the information bulletin for the June 2026 examination. The certificate therefore does not replace that verification, which takes place when a candidate uses the result for a fellowship, a teaching appointment or Ph.D. admission.
Each certificate relates to one of the three categories listed in the notice. Candidates who qualified only for Ph.D. admission should check the category printed on their certificate before using it to apply for a fellowship or a teaching post.
For result and rank queries, the 10 September notice lists 011-40759000 and 011-69227700 and the email csirnet@nta.ac.in. Certificate download problems go to the two addresses in the 25 September notice.
