UGC NET 2024: Raising Objections

Candidates have until February 3 to challenge any discrepancies in the provisional answer keys. To do so, they must visit ugcnet.nta.ac.in and pay a fee of Rs 200 per objection via credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI. Challenges submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.

To challenge an answer key, candidates should log into the official website using their application number, date of birth, and security pin. After accessing their marked responses, they can view or contest the provisional answer keys by selecting the "challenge" option.

Steps to Challenge Answer Keys

Once logged in, candidates will see question IDs listed sequentially. It's important to refer to these IDs rather than sequence numbers when reviewing questions. Correct options are indicated next to each question under the 'Correct options' column; dropped questions are highlighted and cannot be challenged.

If a candidate wishes to dispute an option, they can select one or more option IDs from the next four columns by ticking the checkbox. Supporting documents can be uploaded by choosing 'choose file' and uploading relevant files.

After selecting desired options, candidates should scroll down to 'submit and review claims' before proceeding to the next screen. Here, all challenged option IDs will be displayed for review.

If modifications are needed, click 'Modify your claims'; otherwise, proceed with 'final submit'. Once claims are saved, a screen showing all challenges will appear. Payment must be made by clicking 'pay now', ensuring claims are finalized upon successful payment.
