The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced new dates for postponed and cancelled tests on friday night, amid a furious dispute over purported anomalies in the administration of competitive exams. The UGC-NET will now take place from august 21 to september 4. A day after it was administered on june 18, the university Grants Commission–National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) was canceled due to information obtained by the education Ministry indicating that the exam's integrity had been compromised.
 
The question paper was allegedly leaked on the darknet and distributed over the Telegram app, according to Union education Minister dharmendra Pradhan. The cbi is looking into the situation. The UGC-NET is an exam used to evaluate candidates for PhD course entrance, assistant professor appointments, and junior research fellowship awards.
 
This year, the exam was administered offline on a single day, departing from the previous routine. Nonetheless, the test will be rescheduled and administered under the previous Computer Based Test (CBT) format, which will last two weeks.
 
Postponed as a preventive measure amid the controversy over purported anomalies in the administration of tests, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) UGC-NET will now take place from July 25 to July 27. PhD applications in Chemical Sciences, Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and Planetary Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, and Physical Sciences are accepted through the CSIR UGC-NET.
 
The four-year Integrated Teacher education Programme (ITEP) was supposed to begin on june 12, but it was postponed hours before. Instead, the National Common Entrance Test (NCET) will now take place on July 10. A limited number of central and state universities, like as government colleges, IITs, NITs, and RIEs, are eligible to take the test.
 
In response to the purported anomalies in the PhD entrance test (NET) and medical entrance exam (NEE-UG), the Centre last week informed a panel to guarantee an open, seamless, and equitable administration of exams via the NTA.
 
The UGC-NET was cancelled when the Ministry received information indicating that the exam's integrity had been jeopardised, while the NEET is being scrutinised for many purported anomalies, including a paper leak. As a preventative measure, the CSIR-UGC NET and NEET-PG tests were cancelled.
