In the June session on June 19, one day after the examination was conducted, the Centre canceled the exam crucial for entry-level teaching jobs and PhD admissions in Indian universities, following inputs from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that “the integrity of the examination may have been compromised”
The input was a screenshot of a UGC-NET paper circulating on a Telegram channel around 2 pm on the exam day (June 18), with messages and comments suggesting it was leaked before the first session. Later in August, the Agency re-announced the revised dates for the June session. UGC NET was then conducted between August 21 and September 4 in the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode.
