NTA Begins UGC-NET 2026 Re-Exams for Three Subjects Amid BRICS Security Advisory
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has begun re-examinations for three UGC-NET subjects—English, Commerce, and Sociology—after the original June 2026 papers contained multiple errors, including typos, factual inaccuracies, and repeated questions. English and Commerce exams were held on September 6, while Sociology is scheduled for September 10. Ahead of the Sociology exam in Delhi, the NTA issued a traffic advisory due to heightened security and road restrictions linked to the upcoming BRICS Summit. The Delhi High Court is also reviewing refund requests for exam fees.
