NTA to Re-Conduct UGC-NET English, Commerce, Sociology Exams After Errors Found
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 inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, translation issues, and repeated questions from previous exams. The re-tests are scheduled for September 9 and 10, with no additional fees for candidates. The decision follows complaints from students and comes amid broader scrutiny of the NTA's exam management, including earlier controversies over the NEET-UG exam.
