UGC NET Cutoff 2026

UGC NET cutoff is the minimum score a candidate must get to qualify for JRF (Junior Research Fellowship), Assistant Professor eligibility, or PhD admission. NTA sets separate cutoffs for each subject and category, since difficulty levels and number of candidates differ across papers. 

The cutoff is not fixed and changes every session based on exam difficulty, number of test-takers, and total vacancies. Candidates scoring equal to or above the cutoff are declared qualified. Scoring above the cutoff does not guarantee a JRF fellowship, as JRF has limited slots decided separately.
