NPTEL releases September 2026 certification exam results and score updates

The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning has initiated the rollout of results for the September 2026 semester certification examinations. Candidates who appeared for the proctored online courses can now check their individual score statuses and verify their performance on the official portal.

The update matters to lakhs of engineering, science, and management students across India who rely on these certifications for academic credits and professional credentials. Timely release of scores allows candidates to meet institutional deadlines for credit transfers and job applications.

Registered participants can access their scorecards by logging into the designated candidate portal using their registered email credentials and date of birth. The portal provides detailed breakdowns, including assignment scores and final proctored examination marks.

Under the evaluation norms, candidates must secure a minimum aggregate score of 40 percent to pass. This threshold requires a minimum of 10 marks out of 25 from weekly assignments and 30 marks out of 75 from the final proctored test. Successful candidates scoring between 60 and 89 percent receive Elite certificates, while those securing 90 percent and above are awarded Elite-plus-Gold status.

Concurrently, the examining authority has updated hall ticket statuses for upcoming examinations scheduled through October. Students registered for later phases of the July-December cycle can download their updated admit cards, which specify test centre allocations and reporting guidelines.

Officials stated that candidates identifying discrepancies in their published scorecards must submit formal queries through the portal within a strict three-day window. Physical copies of certificates will not be dispatched by post; all verified candidates must download their electronic certificates directly from the platform.
