NTA to Re-Conduct UGC-NET Exams for English, Commerce, and Sociology Papers
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will reconduct the UGC-NET June 2026 exams for English, Commerce, and Sociology due to multiple errors found in the original question papers. A committee identified factual, typographical, translation, grammatical, and repetition errors, including misspelt scholar names and garbled book titles. The re-examinations are scheduled for September 9 and 10, 2026, with no additional fees for candidates. The UGC-NET determines eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship, assistant professor posts, and PhD admissions.
