According to CBSE source, “The Board is working towards releasing the results by the end of this month, and most likely on July 31, 2018 if all goes as planned. However, it is confirmed that the results will be out latest by August 4, which will be within one month after the conduct of the exam.”

There were 2082 examination centres across the country. A total number of 2864 observers and 675 Board’s officials were deputed on these centres to oversee the conduct of the examination.

Some changes were made for the NET exam this year. The cut-off age of candidates applying for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) post has been revised to 30 years from 28 years. Earlier, candidates had to appear for three papers, this year they appeared only for two papers.
