NTA Orders Re-Examination of UGC-NET English, Commerce, Sociology Papers After Errors
The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced re-examinations for the UGC-NET June 2026 papers in English, Commerce, and Sociology after a committee found multiple errors, including factual, typographical, translation mistakes, and repeated questions from previous exams. The retests are scheduled for September 9 and 10, with no additional fees for candidates. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh, criticized the government and NTA for the delays and errors, questioning accountability and the impact on students' academic progress. The NTA stated the errors were too extensive to be resolved by answer key corrections alone.
