Important: NTA does NOT send scorecards separately by post or email. The result is available only in online mode at the official website. The record of the SWAYAM January 2026 semester exam will be preserved for 90 days from the date of result declaration — download your scorecard before the record is archived.
⚠️ Do NOT rely on unofficial websites claiming to provide SWAYAM results. Always download your scorecard directly from exams.nta.ac.in/SWAYAM only.
Q4. When was the SWAYAM January 2026 Semester Examination conducted?
| Aspect | Details |
| Exam Dates | 17, 18, 19, 20 & 21 June 2026 |
| Total Sessions | 10 Sessions (2 shifts per day over 5 days) |
| Shift Timings | Shift 1: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Shift 2: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM (3 hours each) |
| Total Exam Centres | 201 Centres |
| Cities | 149 Cities across India |
| Total Courses Offered | 898 Courses |
| CBT Mode Courses | 829 |
| Hybrid Mode Courses | 69 (CBT + Pen & Paper for Section B & C) |
| Exam Medium | English (except language papers which are in respective languages) |
Q5. What information is shown on the SWAYAM January 2026 Scorecard?
- Candidate's Name and Application Number
- Course Name and Course Code
- National Coordinator (NPTEL / UGC / CEC / IGNOU / IIMB / NITTTR)
- Marks obtained in the NTA Proctored Examination (out of 100)
- Grade / Score Category
- Qualification Status — whether the candidate has met the minimum score threshold for certification
- Exam Date and Shift
The scorecard shows only the NTA proctored exam marks (out of 100). The internal assignment marks (out of 25 or as per course structure) are maintained separately by the respective National Coordinator / course instructor. The final certificate is issued by the National Coordinator after combining both components.
⚠️ There is NO provision for rechecking, re-evaluation, re-totaling, or any query regarding the result score. The NTA's decision on the declared scores is final.
Q6. What is the minimum passing criteria to get a SWAYAM certificate?
| Component | Minimum Required | Weightage |
| Internal Assessment (Weekly Assignments / In-video quizzes) | Minimum 40 out of 100 internal marks | 25% of total grade |
| NTA Proctored Exam Score | Minimum 40 out of 100 | 75% of total grade |
| BOTH conditions must be met independently | A high score in one does NOT compensate for failing the other | |
Example: If a candidate scores 90/100 in the NTA proctored exam but only 35/100 in internal assessment — they will NOT receive a certificate because the internal assignment threshold is not met. Similarly, 90 in internal but 38 in proctored exam = no certificate. Both must be ≥40/100 independently for certification.
⚠️ Course-specific passing criteria may vary slightly. Always check the individual course information brochure at swayam.gov.in for exact passing requirements of each course.
Q7. When will the SWAYAM January 2026 result for Hybrid Mode (69 courses) be declared?
- Results for 69 hybrid-mode courses are still under process
- These courses had 3,820 registrations and 3,053 candidates appeared
- Hybrid mode includes both a Computer-Based Test (CBT) component AND a Pen & Paper component — the pen & paper answer sheets need manual evaluation, which takes additional time
- The result will be declared separately on the same official portal: exams.nta.ac.in/SWAYAM
- NTA will issue a separate public notice when the hybrid result is declared
Based on past SWAYAM patterns, hybrid-mode results are typically declared 2–4 weeks after the CBT results. Candidates of hybrid courses should check the official NTA website regularly for updates.
Q8. What is the difference between CBT mode and Hybrid mode in SWAYAM exam?
| Aspect | CBT Mode | Hybrid Mode |
| Format | 100% Computer-Based — all questions answered on computer at the exam centre | Computer-Based (Section A — MCQ) + Pen & Paper (Section B — Short Answer, Section C — Long Answer/Descriptive) |
| Evaluation | Fully automated — instant digital evaluation after exam | MCQ auto-evaluated + Written answers manually evaluated by subject experts |
| Result Speed | Faster — results declared first (16 July 2026) | Slower — manual evaluation takes more time (result pending) |
| Duration | 3 Hours | 3 Hours (combined) |
| Typical Subjects | Science, Technology, Engineering, Management courses | Humanities, Language, Literature, Social Science courses |
| January 2026 Count | 829 courses — result OUT | 69 courses — result pending |
Q9. How will I get my SWAYAM completion certificate after the result?
- NTA forwards results to Ministry of Education: NTA's responsibility ends at declaring scores. NTA forwards the results to the Ministry of Education for further action.
- National Coordinators issue certificates: The respective National Coordinator (NPTEL, UGC-CEC, IGNOU, IIMB, NITTTR etc.) of each course issues the final completion certificate after combining NTA proctored exam marks (75%) and internal assessment marks (25%).
- Certificate Portal: Certificates are typically issued through the SWAYAM course portal at swayam.gov.in or the specific National Coordinator's platform (e.g., nptel.ac.in for NPTEL courses).
- Credit Transfer: Candidates who wish to transfer SWAYAM credits to their college/university must approach their institution's academic committee with the SWAYAM scorecard and certificate. UGC has mandated that universities allow credit transfer from SWAYAM courses as per the UGC Credit Framework.
Certificate availability timelines vary by course and National Coordinator — typically 4–8 weeks after NTA result declaration. Check your specific course's National Coordinator website for certificate status.
Q10. What is the SWAYAM exam registration fee and who is eligible?
| Category | Exam Registration Fee |
| General / OBC / EWS | ₹1,000/- per course (Non-Refundable) |
| SC / ST / PwBD (Divyang) | ₹800/- per course (Concession) |
| SWAYAM Course Enrollment (Online Learning) | FREE — no fee for accessing course content |
- Who Must Pay: Only candidates who wish to appear in the NTA Proctored Exam to get a verifiable certificate must pay the registration fee
- Free Learners: Candidates who only want to learn (without a certificate) can enroll and complete all courses for FREE — no exam, no fee, no certificate
- Eligibility: Any enrolled learner who has met the internal assignment minimum score (as per course requirement) is eligible to register for the NTA Proctored Exam
- Age / Qualification: No minimum/maximum age. No specific qualification required — open to all citizens of India. Course level (UG/PG/Skill) determines the appropriate audience.
Q11. Is SWAYAM result the same as a government exam result? Can it be used for job applications?
- SWAYAM = Academic Certification: It is a Ministry of Education initiative for open online education and certification — not a recruitment or selection examination
- NTA's Role: NTA only conducts the proctored exam and declares scores. NTA does NOT recruit candidates or issue job offers based on SWAYAM results
- Uses of SWAYAM Certificate:
- Academic credit transfer at UG/PG level (as per UGC Credit Framework)
- Skill enhancement and professional development proof
- Can be added to resume/CV for skill demonstration
- Some employers value SWAYAM certificates from premier institutions (IITs, IIMs) as supplementary qualifications
- NOT a Recruitment Exam: SWAYAM result does NOT lead to government job appointment, nor is it accepted as a direct educational qualification for PSC/UPSC/SSC exams
SWAYAM certificates from NPTEL (IIT courses) have significant industry recognition, especially in engineering and technology domains.
Q12. What are the National Coordinators for SWAYAM courses and what do they do?
| National Coordinator | Full Form | Domain |
| NPTEL | National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning | Engineering, Science, Technology (IIT/IISc) |
| UGC | University Grants Commission | UG/PG Social Sciences, Humanities, Languages |
| CEC | Consortium for Educational Communication | Under-Graduate courses (Non-Technical) |
| IGNOU | Indira Gandhi National Open University | Post Graduate, Certificate, Diploma Courses |
| IIMB | Indian Institute of Management Bangalore | Management & Business Courses |
| AICTE | All India Council for Technical Education | Self-paced technical and management courses |

| NCERT | National Council of Educational Research and Training | School education (Classes 9–12) |
| NIOS | National Institute of Open Schooling | School education for out-of-school learners |
Each National Coordinator independently issues completion certificates for their courses after NTA forwards the proctored exam results. The certificate will carry the logo and authority of the respective National Coordinator.
