NTA announces UGC-NET retest for English, Commerce, Sociology on September 9-10

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that it will re-conduct the UGC-NET June 2026 examinations in English, Commerce, and Sociology due to the presence of factual, typographical, and translation errors, as well as repeated questions from previous examinations. The re-tests will be held on September 9-10, with no additional examination fee charged from candidates.

The English paper will be conducted on September 9 from 9 am to 12 noon in Shift 1, the Commerce paper on the same day from 3 pm to 6 pm in Shift 2, and the Sociology paper on September 10 from 9 am to 12 noon in Shift 1. The NTA's decision follows complaints from candidates after the original UGC-NET examination, which took place from June 22 to 30 across 87 subjects.

This move comes amid a series of disruptions that have affected the UGC-NET in recent years, including a NEET-UG paper leak controversy and a government cancellation of the examination in June 2024 due to concerns about its integrity.
