NTA Orders UGC-NET Re-Exams for English, Commerce, Sociology After Errors Found
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-examination for the UGC-NET June 2026 papers in English, Commerce, and Sociology after a committee found multiple factual, typographical, translation errors, and repeated questions. 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 demanded accountability, while student groups like NSUI and ABVP called for reforms. The Education Ministry is overseeing an overhaul of the NTA's examination system following these issues.
