On 24 September 2026, the National Testing Agency announced e‑certificates for UGC NET June 2026 are live. Four qualifying categories are covered, from Junior Research Fellowship to PhD‑only. As of 26 September, downloads have begun. This unlocks hiring and admissions processes without delay.
Eligibility remains unchanged. “The validity of JRF is from the date of issue of JRF award letter.” The notice adds that this is as per rule. Assistant Professor eligibility remains valid forever, as clarified by the University Grants Commission. Qualified candidates in any listed category can fetch their e‑certificate now.

The notice lists four outcomes. JRF only, Assistant Professor only, Assistant Professor with PhD admission, and PhD‑only. These reflect aggregate performance across both papers. If your result mentions any of these, you are eligible to download the matching e‑certificate today.
Open the e‑Certificate portal; enter Application Number, Date of Birth, and Security Pin exactly as on your application. Submit to generate the PDF. The default PDF password is first four capital letters of your name plus DDMMYYYY. Save and recheck details before sharing.
Prefer DigiLocker if the portal is busy. Sign in, link Aadhaar if prompted, and search for UGC NET documents. Fetch the e‑certificate and confirm the embedded QR code and photo. Certificates without either are invalid; scan the QR to verify authenticity before submission.
For clarity after the re‑exam, NTA has hosted the final answer key and scorecard pages. Both were published on 17 September 2026. Cross‑check your revised marks there before downloading the certificate, especially if your subject was rescheduled.
