Talking to indianexpress.com, director general (DG), NTA, Vineet Joshi had informed, “The agency has started the evaluation process, the results will be declared on the scheduled date, January 10, 2019.”

Joshi also informed that no objects have been raised on NTA’s UGC NET despite it being the first ever attempt by the agency. Minister HRD, Prakash Javadekar had also said, “NTA has been constituted to make exams more significant, transparent and flawless.”

However, there were reports of female students not allowed to appear for the exam as they had refused to remove their hijab (scarf). The Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) has sent a notice regarding the same to the UGC.

Over 1.8 lakh candidates had appeared for the day one of the test. This year was the first time the NTA had conducted the exam. Earlier, the Universities Grant Commission (UGC) used to conduct the exam.
