Delhi, June 29: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the UGC NET re-examination for the June 2024 cycle will be held online as a Computer-Based Test (CBT). This change comes after the June 18 pen-and-paper exam was canceled due to integrity concerns following a leak of the question paper on the darknet.
Key Points:
Mode of Examination: The UGC NET June 2024 re-exam will be conducted in CBT mode, moving away from the previously attempted pen-and-paper format.
Revised Schedule: The re-examination will be held in multiple shifts from August 21 to September 4, following the traditional CBT pattern.
Candidate Participation: The decision to return to CBT mode is influenced by higher registration and participation rates observed in previous CBT editions. For the June exam, 11,21,225 candidates registered, with an attendance rate of 81%.
Background:
Cancellation: The June 18 exam was initially conducted in pen-and-paper mode but was later canceled due to a breach in exam integrity, as announced by the Education Ministry.
CSIR-UGC NET Postponement: Following the UGC NET cancellation, the NTA also postponed the joint CSIR-UGC NET exam due to logistical issues and unavoidable circumstances. New dates for this exam have been announced.
Next Steps:
Admit Cards and Schedule: The NTA will release the detailed subject-wise schedule and admit cards for the re-test on their official website, ugcnet.nta.ac.in.
