NTA Under Fire: UGC-NET 2026 Exam Irregularities Surface
17 Aug
Summary
- AIDYO demands UGC-NET 2026 exam cancellation due to paper errors.
- Re-examinations are scheduled nearly seven weeks after original dates.
- Group calls for dissolution of NTA citing corruption and inefficiency.
The All India Democratic Youth Organisation (AIDYO) is demanding the cancellation of the UGC-NET 2026 examination due to detected irregularities. Problems were reported in the English, commerce, and sociology papers, leading the National Testing Agency (NTA) to order re-examinations.
These re-examinations are happening approximately seven weeks after the initial tests, which AIDYO points out as a sign of significant shortcomings. The organization noted that similar issues, including factual errors, poor translations, and repeated questions, were reported during the June 2024 examination.
AIDYO has labeled the NTA as "corrupt and inefficient" and is calling for its dissolution. They are urging the government to conduct an independent inquiry to identify and fix responsibility for the lapses in question paper preparation and scrutiny.
The organization also stressed the importance of conducting the re-examinations with full transparency to prevent further hardship for students. AIDYO pledged its support to all affected candidates and encouraged the student community to unite in protecting the integrity of the education system.
