CSIR UGC NET 2024: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will today close the window to challenge the Joint CSIR UGC NET 2024 provisional answer key. Candidates who wish to challenge the provisional answer key can do so by visiting the official website csirnet.nta.ac.in.
Candidates can challenge the answer key by paying a fee of Rs 200 for each question challenged. This fee is non-refundable and can be paid through debit or credit card or net banking.

The official notification reads, “Challenges submitted by candidates will be verified by a panel of subject experts. If the challenge of a candidate is found correct, the answer key will be revised and applied to the answers of all candidates.
