How the 2025 key is organised
NTA’s final key for June 2025 is split by subject, with the subject code, exam date and shift at the top of each sheet. Each sheet lists 150 question IDs with the correct option: the first 50 are the Paper 1 (General Paper on Teaching and Research Aptitude) questions and the last 100 are the subject paper. The Economics sheet hosted above is a representative example of the layout.
Question IDs are unique to a shift, so you cannot match IDs across shifts. To check Paper 1 answers, you need the sheet for your own subject, date and shift. Download the one you need from the NTA path listed in the table above, then compare your recorded response sheet question by question.
What is not public
NTA does not publish the June 2025 question papers on its site. The only copy is the one a candidate downloads from the portal during the answer key challenge. Treat copies shared elsewhere as unofficial.
