The UGC NET Result 2026 for 84 subjects is out, bringing some relief to thousands of students who were yet to receive their results.

The UGC NET Result 2026 was declared by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on the night of Friday, August 28. Those who appeared for the examination for English, Commerce and Sociology need not worry about not being able to download their scorecards as their examinations will be conducted again in September.

The reason behind the UGC NET Scorecard 2026 showing an error

Those who had appeared for the examination for the three aforementioned subjects may see an “Invalid Application Number/Password” notification when they attempt to download their result scorecards.

However, this does not necessarily mean that those who see this notification wrongly entered their application numbers and passwords as the results for these subjects have yet to be uploaded. The rescheduled examination for Commerce, English and Sociology will be held on September 9 and 10, 2026.

As such, the aforementioned candidates need not worry that the “Invalid Application Number/Password” notification that they see when attempting to download their scorecards is a result of them wrongly entering their application numbers and passwords when they attempt to download their scorecards, as their scorecards have yet to be uploaded online.

When can one download the scorecard?

Those who took the examination for English, Commerce and Sociology can only download their UGC NET June 2026 scorecards after taking their re-examination.

Meanwhile, those who took the examination for any of the other 84 subjects can already view their results and download their scorecards on the UGC NET portal.

The results of those who took the examination for the three aforementioned subjects will be uploaded after their rescheduled examination on September 9 and 10, 2026.

What should one do?

Those who took the examination for the three aforementioned subjects should not attempt to download their scorecards by inputting different application numbers and passwords in an effort to avoid seeing the “Invalid Application Number/Password” notification. They should wait for the announcement of the UGC NET results for their examination subjects in September 2026 before attempting to download their scorecards again.

Business Fortune asks those who are not studying any of the three aforementioned subjects, but had taken the examination for any of the other 84 subjects to download their scorecards and ensure that the information written in their scorecards is correct.
