National Testing Agency to redo NET exams in English, Commerce and Sociology after paper flaws

The National Testing Agency publicly admitted that the UGC-NET assessments in English, Commerce and Sociology were riddled with errors and repeated items. Officials explained that the volume of problems was too great to be corrected merely by removing questions after the answer-key challenge stage. After reviewing the situation, the agency ordered that entirely new examinations be conducted for each of the three subjects.

This move aims to ensure fairness for candidates who sat for the flawed papers. The agency's statement came on Sunday from its New Delhi office. No further details on the timeline for the new exams were provided.
