UGC NET June 2026 e-Certificate Download Guide

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made the UGC NET June 2026 e-Certificates and JRF Award Letters available online, following its public notice dated September 24, 2026. Candidates who qualified for JRF, Assistant Professor eligibility, or PhD admission can use the official certificate portal to access and save their digital document.

This is a certificate download update, not a new recruitment or examination application notice, so no vacancy count or application deadline is specified. The June session exams took place from June 22 to June 30, 2026, and candidates download their certificate online by signing in with their application number, password, and CAPTCHA; no certificate selection process beyond qualifying in the relevant category is described.

Important Dates

Vacancy Details

This notice concerns certificates for candidates who qualified in UGC NET June 2026; it does not announce job vacancies. NTA has issued certificates or award letters for the following qualification categories:

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

The notice does not specify a separate educational qualification for downloading the document. Access is for candidates who qualified in one of the listed UGC NET June 2026 categories: JRF only, JRF with Assistant Professor eligibility, Assistant Professor with PhD admission, or PhD admission only. Candidates who did not qualify in any of these categories will not receive a certificate through this release.

Age Limit

No age limit or age relaxation details are provided in this certificate release notice.

Application Fee

This is an online certificate download rather than a new application process. The notice does not specify a fee for downloading the e-Certificate or JRF Award Letter.

How to Apply

Use the official NTA portal and keep the application number and password used during registration ready. Follow these steps to download the document:

1. Visit the official UGC NET website at ugcnet.nta.nic.in and look for the e-Certificate link in the important links or latest news area.
2. Open the UGC NET June 2026 Candidate Certificate page on the Public Examinations Management Platform. Candidates may also use the direct certificate login link.
3. Select the option to log in through application number and password.
4. Enter your application number and the password created during registration.
5. Type the CAPTCHA shown on the screen. If it is difficult to read, select “Regenerate CAPTCHA” to get another code.
6. Choose Login or Submit to view your e-Certificate or JRF Award Letter.
7. Check the document details, then download the PDF and save or print copies for your records.

If you have forgotten your password, use the “Forgot Password?” option on the login page and follow the reset instructions using your registered mobile number or email address. The certificate is issued digitally; candidates download it themselves, and the notice does not describe a hard-copy dispatch.

Selection Process

This is not a recruitment selection process. NTA has issued the documents to candidates who qualified in the relevant UGC NET June 2026 category. The June examination was conducted from June 22 to June 30, 2026; the answer key was released on August 16, results for 84 subjects were announced on August 28, and re-examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology took place on September 9 and 10 before the certificates were released.

After downloading the PDF, verify the candidate’s name, father’s or mother’s name, roll number, application number, qualified subject, qualification category, June 2026 exam session, issue date, and certificate number or QR code. Contact the NTA helpdesk promptly if any detail is incorrect, providing your application number and supporting documents. Keep the PDF in secure locations such as email, cloud storage, or a pen drive, and print copies if needed for interviews or admissions. Candidates should use the official NTA website and avoid third-party pages that request login credentials.

Certificate validity depends on the qualification category: Assistant Professor eligibility is valid for life, the JRF Award Letter is valid for three years from its issue date, and PhD-admission-only qualification is valid for one year from the result declaration. JRF-qualified candidates should note the issue date because the three-year period starts from that date. The certificate can serve as proof for faculty recruitment, PhD admissions, fellowship verification, and document authentication; JRF candidates need the Award Letter when joining a university or research institute and starting their fellowship.

Eligible candidates who have not yet saved their document can download it through the official NTA certificate portal. Check the PDF carefully and keep a copy available for future admission, recruitment, or verification needs.
