AIDSO demands independent inquiry into UGC-NET errors

The All India Democratic Students' Organisation (AIDSO) in Mysuru district has called for an independent inquiry into alleged errors in the UGC-NET examinations. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that re-examinations will be held for English, Commerce, and Sociology following complaints from candidates about "errors" in the question papers.

AIDSO claims that these issues, which include factual inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and repetition of questions, were evident even in the June 2024 UGC-NET exam. The organisation argues that merely conducting re-examinations is insufficient to compensate the stress, financial losses, and time wasted endured by the thousands of students, research scholars, and aspirants affected.

AIDSO demands that the National Testing Agency be dismantled and that an independent inquiry be launched to address the alleged shortcomings in the preparation and quality-checking of question papers. The organisation also urges those found responsible to be held accountable and emphasizes the need for the re-examination to be conducted with utmost care and transparency to avoid further difficulties for the candidates.

AIDSO spokesperson Nithin called upon the student community to join in the fight for quality and accountability in the education system.
