The National Testing Agency (NTA) is anticipated to release the CSIR NET Result 2025-26 for the December session shortly on the official result portal csirnet.nta.nic.in. The Joint CSIR-UGC NET Examination (December session) was held on 18 December 2025 at various centres across India, and candidates who appeared in the test are now awaiting their official results and qualifying status.
CSIR NET 2025-26 Exam and Answer Key Context
For the December 2025 session, the NTA conducted the exam on 18 December 2025, and shortly afterwards released the provisional answer key. Candidates were given a limited window to raise objections to that answer key before the final version was prepared by subject experts. Once objections were resolved, the final answer key formed the basis for result calculation.

What the CSIR NET Result Includes?
The CSIR NET result document generally contains the following details:
- Candidate’s Name and Roll Number
- Subject Code and Test Paper
- Marks Obtained
- Percentile / Aggregate Score
- Qualifying Status for JRF and/or eligibility for Assistant Professor roles
Qualified candidates should retain their scorecards securely, as these are required for subsequent academic or fellowship processes.
CSIR NET Cutoff and Next Steps
After the result is declared, NTA is also expected to release subject-wise cutoff marks and qualifying norms for the December 2025 session. Cutoffs help determine eligibility thresholds for JRF awards and Assistant Professor eligibility, and are usually published alongside or shortly after the result. Candidates who qualify the CSIR NET exam may receive eligibility certificates and are then eligible to pursue Junior Research Fellowships or commence lectureship careers in Indian universities and research institutes, subject to fulfilling all eligibility norms.
